DPD genetic condition

Hi All,

I’m about to start CAPOX next week as adjuvant chemo after surgery for bowel cancer. My consultant called and said I am one of the 2% of people who have the faulty genetics which means I can only have a lower dose of chemo and I may have more severe side effects. Has anyone out there been through this experience and could advise me how it affected them? Any information would help as I’m a bit nervous.

Thanks,

Nicnak

  • Hi  

    I don't have any experience with this type of chemo but noticed that your post hadn't had any replies yet. Responding to you will 'bump' it back to the top of the discussion list again.

    You might also want to post it in the bowel cancer group as that is a much more active group than this one.

    Wishing you all the best
