    What did you find? When I was

    What did you find? When I was very stressed, a friend researched for me and said that while both are bad, she thinks stivarga is an option better than lonsurf. I do remember someone on this forum who was having good results from lonsurf though. Just can't remember who. This is the drug that is next for me after stivarga.

    Quick research

    I just did a quick research. Apparently, a remission is rarely archieved which is something I dont like. But I did read a patient report from a patient on remission on it as after care after surgery. 

    Lonsurf is tge only available drug in the EU. Stivarga was too dangerous for the medical admission agency so it was withdrawn.
