Can anyone provide feedback on the pros/cons of the following triplet regimens?
1) leuk/5FU/Camptosar
2) leuk/5FU/Oxaliplatin
My mom just started the FULFIRI treatment (Camptasar, Leukavorin and 5FU), but received a second opinion where another doctor recommended the FOLFOX treatment (Oxaliplatin, Leukavorin and 5FU). Supposedly the Oxaliplatin is less toxic. She's sticking with the fulfiri treatment until we get more info.
Thanks.
