My husband recently completed his 27tx. Of these, 12 were FOLFOX, the rest (13) FOLFIRI + Avastin. (He also did 1 month of xeloda while getting radiation). Can anyone share how many FOLFIRI tx they received before it quit working and what was used as 3rd line. Most recent scan showed cancer in lungs is stable.Thank you in advance.

Well, I have about about 78 rounds of it and it’s still working. Not sure I recommend it though.
