It is not shameful indeed. One never knows what the father had experienced if he had been given the therapy during the day.
The oncologist could have written a paper (there are many single case papers), or started a trial by himself (requires a lot of organizing) if he was very intrigued. But of course one can’t do that for every above average case.
I have to say, in this particular case there is a very plausible mechanism and the trial would not be that hard. So it is a real shame that nothing was done with this.
Previous rounds of chemo were done on the normal morning infusion schedule and he ended up with a completely depleted immune system and was put in strict quarantine. He also got multiple infections that were life threatening.
This is the reason I started looking into the alternate dosing schedule.
