My advice right now would be to get a clarification of your exact treatment regimen from your oncologist. You say that you will be doing FOLFOX, but that you are going to "... opt for the pills and IV instead of the med port..."
In my opinion, if you will indeed be placed on FOLFOX, it will not possible for you to opt for these particular options. I think you could opt for these if you were assigned to CAPEOX, but not if you are assigned to FOLFOX.
Can you check with your oncologist about this? Thanks
