Hello, Folfox tore me apart with extreme side effects and grew my cancer, Irenitocan shrank some of my liver nets but others sprang up elsewhere, so I am left having to decide whether or not to do a third line of treatment: Lonsurf. Having been denied other effective treatments that are too expensive for the NHS, I am feeling a little bitter as I wouldn’t be in this situation if I’d received them - basically facing hospice care if Lonsurf fails. Like all of us, I’m sure, I hate going to hospital, I hate the feeling of being poisoned and I hate the fact that ultimately there is no knowing whether chemo will work or not. I know the limitations of Lonsurf so I don’t need to hear those, please. I just wondered if anyone out there has had a positive experience of it?
