My oncologist said at the start of my chemo journey six rounds would be good twelve rounds would be great if I could handle it. I’ve just done six rounds - interested in understanding how many rounds others have had and if they changed the number of rounds from the plan at the start?
I had 4 then had an operation as my ovary wasn't not responding but the rest was. Now I've had 9 rounds of Folfoxiri (so adding in irinotican) post op- but it's actually being called neoadjuvant chemo pre potentially doing something for my liver. Is yours pre or post op Folfox?
awe wishing you all the very best with the scans- I think it's probably to do with how you're feeling on the folfox as well as it can have the nasty side effects I am sure you were told about- so they might still say 12 whatever the scans say, if you're doing okay- keep us posted
