Bowel cancer

Hi yes my husband has been on it .

Also if memory serves me @northwesterly his wife was on it.

Hi 

I think  might be using it . I have tagged her in to see if she is available. 
I take it that is the proposal for you . 
I think the Nice guidelines have a reference to it if 5 Fu is not possible .

Take care ,

My husband has had a change in his chemo plans as he has enzymes in his blood, so we are waiting to start his chemo, how has your husband been on it and has he had any side affects  

Thanks dee

Thank you 

Hi again sorry only just getting back to you, my husband had to have Raltitrexed as he had rare reaction to capecitabine it caused vasospasms... he was ok originally on this chemo but then he developed some problems, again rare...so don’t be put off...he has a kidney condition and it complicates things...and somehow he just seems to get the “rare” side effects...just his body....please don’t be put off....but he also seems to get good results..

my best wishes to your husband please keep posting let us know how he goes on....

by the way the raltitrexed infusion only takes about 30 mins ...xx

Thank you for your reply it has helped greatly and I will keep touch updated hope your husband is doing ok xx
