Mitomycin C and 5FU (or capecitabine/xeloda)
http://www.redjournal.org/article/S0360-3016(14)00792-5/fulltext
5FU in pill form (capecitabine/Xeloda) is another approved protocol listed in the NCCN Guidelines.
I was concerned about the inconvenience of a pic/port and fanny pac and opted to take the 5FU in pill form (capecitabine/xeloda)
I had the same side effects (urgency and frequency) as most people, fatigue,poor appetite, dehydration, etc, but I did not have mouth sores, neutropenia.
I did have hand and foot syndrome in the last week or so, but not everyone gets this.
