Hello everyone
My friend starts post op Flot this week. Stage 3 3N1M0 - I think thats how it looks
2 LN found with cancer out of 38
No other spread
The pre surgery chemo did not shrink the cancer (4cm)
Will the FLOT work and be worthwhile when it did not reduce the cancer?
Will the FLOT be worse? more difficult to manage and if so, how?
I would like to be prepared
Thank you for everyone who has or will message me back.
Hi CB
did you have a lot of these side affects in the pre op chemo as well ? Just wondering if I will have the side affects I have had so far but much worse or the original ones with a load of others ! Or is it just your body and how strong you feel after the surgery!
thanks Tricia
Hi Tricia,
It wasn’t the number of side effects that changed for me, just the severity of them. Tough to get through but I got through them. So can you. CB
