Hi,

Been reading the thread about FOLFOX. I was clinically dx as Stage III (T3, N1, M0) in Apr 06 based on the initial CT and MRI following the colonoscopy. I finished chemo/radiation in Jun 06 and had a LAR on Jul 25.

Path report showed a T1 tumor with no evidnece of lymph node involvement.

Based on that, the onc is looking to put me through 4-6 cycles of 5FU/LV beginning next Tuesday.

I'm curious about FOLFOX since it appears people on this chat with Stage 2 or 3 are receiving that vice 5 FU/LV.

Thanks,

Mike
