I have been on longsurf for 4 cycles had a scan then went to see my oncologist last week unfortunately longsurf has not worked, so next plan to re challenge folfori the liver spots have grown not a lot both of them measure 3.4cm together so I had good results with folfori last time so fingers crossed I do again
I tolerated lonsurf it made me very sick and neausa and I didn't like them much so relieved I'm off them even though it means going bavk to hospital every 2 weeks and a picc line again but short price to pay to stay alive.
Hi HazG
I am sad to read you did not gain the desired effect from lonsurf. Particularly when it was harsh on you .
However you have had good shrinkage with Flofiri and I hope the side effects won’t be so harsh and it does the job for you once again .
Mum Is on the two week cycle . It is a bit curtailing as well you know but together your family and mine will find a way to keep working out life on treatment and keeping the good times as the focus .
take special care ,

Hi HazG , that's rubbish going through lonsurf for it not to work, so sorry. As you had good results with folfori it sounds like a good plan to rechallenge. What are your biomarkers, are you able to add in any targeted treatments I.e. cetuximab or avastin?
Also, are there any suitable trials?
