Hi,
Irinotecan and Raltitrexed chemo together is unfortunately not a usual regime on the NHS, I understand due to cost (used extensively in some other countries & proven to be a good alternative where a patient, like me, has 5FU issues). We know that it is however used sometimes in the UK - we trying to get 'evidence' of that. If anyone has had this combo, grateful if you could let me know & which Trust it was. Many thanks!
