Most comments from caregivers were not positive with the drug. I would like first hand information about their results and about their side effects and if tumors shrunk. Length of time on the drug. I would like contact with people who are dealing with this drug now not 5 or 10 yrs ago.
Where do I post to reach it to these people taking Regorafenib, or is it not a drug that is not given much. With this drug are there other drugs I should inquire about. I joined this form for knowledge. I know nothing about cancer past the point I took 2 Chemos Oxilaplatin did not work.

This Chemo drug Stivarga has nothing but bad reviews from people that were taking it. Hardly anyone was on it for long due to bad reactions.
I am very uncomfortable with Stivarga. I was on Irinotecan with FU5. and had a reaction and was taken off. I am not sure if it was the drug or panic attack.
I asked my oncologist yesterday about going back on it it yesterday and was told the fu5 did nothing with the Oxaliplatin
I am going to look up alternatives to Stivarga and check out my pathology report.
Are you a moderator?
Thank you for your help. You are a big help.
