Treatments

5-FU Too Soon to Tell

Chemotherapy Too Soon to Tell

had chemo 5Fu before my surgery and adjuvant chemo after my surgery, with 5Fu, Leucovorin, and Oxaliplatin. too early to tell if this has been effective.

Oxaliplatin Working / Worked

had to stop at 6 treatments as my neuropathy increased to my feet, after having it in my hands for a while.

Radiotherapy Working / Worked

ended up with a perforated bowel because of it.

Surgery Working / Worked

Had surgery, with 8 inches of large bowel removed and 6 inches of small bowel, due to the perforation. Also ended up with an ileostomy which was reversed two months later, as the appliance would not stay on.
