Hi all,
Have made a decision to get chemo treatment at a cancer center close to home and just visited with my oncologist today. Will be going on Folfox6 after I get my pet scan and port inserted. I see him in two weeks to let him know if I wanted to go on 5FU or Xeloda, he also is suggesting that i add Avastin to it. He thinks that my insurance will cover the Avastin but not 100% sure, the clinical trial they were running with it just closed.
I'm having a hard time deciding between the 5FU and Xeloda, would love to hear from anyones experience on how they came to a decision.
Overall I'm doing really good from the support of family and friends and all your posts on this site. I find that some days I'm depressed or maybe just the shock of having colon caner is over and it is becoming real. Had surgery on the 25th of September and my last bandage fell off today. Seeing the scar has definitely made this experience very real. I'm figuring this is all normal and look forward to going back to work.
Thanks
Amy
