Surgeon at USC Keck was not able to complete surgery because the discovery of mets. Treatment plan is folfoxiri with Avastin. Port placement on Wednesday and chemo on the 15th. The goal is to get to the point of being able to have surgery with HIPEC. I see most posts about folfiri and folfox, but not about folfoxiri. Can anyone share their experiences?

Every cancer and patient is different. Use what works for you. Some it is 5FU and others Folfuri.
Listen to your own response to the treatment issued by your oncologist and adjust if and when needed. As long as you are getting the advice from a major cancer center, you will be following the most recent practices, and will be able to be nimble in your changes in treatment when needed.
It looks like you are being treated in NYC at Sloan Kettering, so that is a great place to start!
All the best for 2018, and your journey forward.

FOLFOXIRI: Irinotecan 165 mg/m 2 over 60 minutes then oxaliplatin 85 mg/m 2 plus leuovorin 200 mg/m 2 concurrently over 120 minutes then 5-FU 3200 mg/m 2 over 48 hours; repeat every 2 wk for four to six cycles.

For me the two didn't do anything without the Irinotecan..once they added that in all the bloating and pain disappeared in almost instantly a few days after...hopefully the two work well for you tho.

My mom had localized perio met. She was planned to be operate and HIPEC after 8 round of FOLFOX. However, the met spread crazy during the first round of chemo. Currently, she is getting the FOLFOX and Avastin. Most people when they have perio met the chemo don't work very well. If we could choose again. We definitely would choose folfixri or FOLFOX at the beginning. Wish you wiil have a good lucky!
