Hi, just wondering if anyone getting this regime. It's the 5ffu, iricantin and oxyplatin. I'm h each d ing for cycle 6 on Wednesday. Seems most people are on combination of two but not all three. I'm 43 yr female with stage 4 colon cancer. It's the first time I've posted on any boards but really would like to hear from someone on this "cocktail"

Dear Shar984,
Thank you for your post. I'm sorry that you have not heard from another person who has had a similar treatment for bowel cancer. We may be able to link you to person who has had a similar type of chemotherapy with some of the drugs you mentioned.If you would like to speak with a survivor supporting a survivor volunteer you can call us on the National Cancer Helpline freefone 1800 200 700 and we may be able to arrange it for you.
Kind regards,
Cancer Information Nurse
