That is what I'm currently doing. When i did folfox as first round it seemed to be ok, but after finishing i had liver mets in just three months. After the liver was resected and HAI used, i did 1.5 years folfiri. That kept thing moving slowly, but lung mets showed up. Avastin was added, things kept stable.
When i couldn't handle the irinotecan anymore, i stopped that and everything grew.
I will have a ct in sept to see if things are still growing or if the folfox (@ reduced dose), is keeping things stable.
Good luck to mom.
