I have just ordered one of these, the reviews online were good, lets hope it works.

Hi, can you tell me how long folfirinox has been used to treat pancreatic cancer and are there any recent data in terms of survival rates using this particular type of chemotherapy.

Thanks

Theresa

I was diagnosed with PC and liver mets at the end of September 2018. I started chemo very quickly and had round 5 mid December.

Enjoy your Christmas break

Hi, I was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and liver metastasis in September 2018. I have my 3rd round of chemo ((folirinox) on Thursday and whilst I am managing the chemo well and I appear to be a lot stronger, fitter and well in myself my liver remains quite large...…..will it shrink if the chemo ...

Thanks Kate, I hope all is well for you next week, try to get some rest. My 2nd chemo went Ok, just waiting for the 'fall out' early next week.

Round 2 of chemo tomorrow, bloods were OK with my liver function being better than last time. I hope I tolerate it as well as I did with round 1, at least I have a better idea of what is to come. Hope everyone is ok. x
