As someone diagnosed stage II, I often wondered if the oxaliplatin was necessary. I did 6 months, 8 treatments of xelox. (xelox = xeloda+ oxaliplatin). The reason I chose to do the oxaliplatin, in short, was because I didn’t trust the surgical procedure, more so than any other reasoning. My tumor was very low and large. I went from a completed laparoscopic procedure to a full open surgical procedure after the surgeon was told that he did not get good margins. I just could not shake the idea of a few cancer cells coming loose after having been reconnected laporscopically with bad margins. I wonder if they will discuss how much bad vs. good surgical technique plays a part in determining how much and what kind of adjuvant therapy is needed. Am interested to see how research compares 3 month dosages of oxilaplatin to 6 months dosages. Intresting.
