in Colorectal Cancer #1

Hi All,

Does anyne have any info on finding an Oncologist that specializes in DPD deficient patients with colorectal cancer???  The test was never mentioned until after I had first treatment of 5-FU and didn't die from all the side effects.  I tested positive.  I live in Connecticut.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

KD

    DPD?
    Not sure what that is? Which side of CT? Have you tried Sloan or Dana Farber...depending on where in CT you are?
