Hi gang,
I am recently dx'd Stage III and looking down the long barrel of chemo. (surgery was a few weeks back.) Docs I have all met with are all recommending the standard FULFOX protocol.
However, I am trying to better understand the value/feasibility of complementing the FULFOX with another compound -- either Avastin or Erbitux. Some onc docs I am speaking with are big fans of one or the other and are interested in prescribing one of these in addition to the FULFOX. My orientation is to go for it given the advanced stage of my condition.
Has anyone used either or both of these in combo with their chemo. If so, please reply. The more feedback the better -- good, bad or indifferent. This is a big decision for me. I am reluctant to only do the standard FULFOX protocol if there are other compounds available that can improve my chances.
Thanks in advance.
