Erin,
Sorry for the bad news, I can't speak. From experience I can only let u know what I saw in Kevin. Every round was different for him and like round 9 it didn't even phase him one bit. Round 8 well that landed him in the hospital, but I am not telling u this to scare u. I want to tell u this to let u know what made the biggest difference between the treatment he got. Starting on round 9 he was given IV fluids sent home with his 5fu pump that infused at the same time as the 5fu. It wasn't the full 48hrs but it was 30 hrs and this made the biggest difference in the world. He wouldnt do any more chemo unless he got the fluids.
I hope this helps,
Lisa
