Hello, my husband has been on Lonsurf as a 3rd line chemo. He has really struggled with it. He is thinking about giving it up but we're concerned that regular blood tests to check hb etc levels and scans will stop as community care tends to treat the symptoms rather than any other underlying cause. Have any of you or your loved ones been in this situation and what was the care like that you received once the decision was made. I believe the oncology team simply cut you loose? Thank you so much.
