Alternative chemo to CAPOX,

Hi 

Welcome to the forum . It would be quite common to use an alternative chemo if they don’t think their heart condition would tolerate it . There is some information on the NICE guidelines .

It would only be palliative if there is still disease present . They would most certainly tell him if that’s the case !

Take care ,

Thank you court, i will look up NICE guidelines 

we were told initially it would be adjuvant chemo, now im guessing its if you recieve CAPOX

It’s maybe just a form filling issue. They are inclined to be very , very honest with you if you have a spread . 
Take care ,

Hi court

it was an error by the oncologist who ticked the wrong category, recd full apology stating he was mortified

Phew . What a shame . What is it they say  you make an error in every 2000 tasks you do ! 

However it gives you a big fright in these situations ! You have been very understanding! 

But delighted all is still good !
