Happy,
Welcome to this site! I think you will find it very helpful. Where in SW ON do you relocate to? I am from just outside Toronto.
We are just North of Sarnia. I am American so I go to Port Huron, Mi for treatment.0 -
what is the difference
Hi,
I'm curious as to what the difference is with Folfox 4 vs. Folfox 6. I'm not even positive what one I was one (Sept.2007-Jan2008)- I think it was Folfox 6. Is the difference just in dosages? Just curious.
Wishing you all the best with the onc changes and changes in the type of Folfox.

I'm curious also. I don't know what John was on but he mention her saying ( our new Onc) something about FOLFOX 6. I didn't hear that. Good to have more ears in the room to listen I guess.
Hope you have good results. My best to you, Paula0 -

In my case 4 was two days of about 3 hours drip then 24 hour on pump. 6 is about 4 hours on drip and 46 hours on pump. I think drugs are the same. My issue was convience as I must cross the border each day for treatment.0 -

The article referenced above explains it well. Thanks for the input.0
