Now, there's no guarantee you'll get an answer (let alone one that satisfies you), but we've found that this works more often than not.

Xelox (oral 5FU for the "fol" part) worked extremely well for him pre-liver surgery last year, so I am just wondering why she made that recommendation. She was very rushed and we didn't have a moment to ask our many questions so I was wondering if anyone here might have an idea why the preference. Thoughts?

My husband's IQ is over 165 and mine isn't too shabby, either, so we also don't suffer fools gladly. That's actually one of my husband's favorite sayings.
Xelox worked extremely well for my husband but I don't know of any way to differentiate the effects of Xeloda or the Ox in that case. He also works six days a week.
Waiting to hear from them about confirming March 7th for resection and pump placement. We were offered February 14th but that day is too soon for us to get our affairs in order. Dr. D'Angelica's nurse called 27 hours ago and we haven't heard back yet. Hopefully, the plan will be solidified soon. Sure would be good to hear what the treatment plan is first, as well. :/
