My dad was given a couple of options for chemo (Stage III). The first one, 5FU, is covered by the government plan (we're from Ontario, Canada). The second option, Folfox containing Oxaliplaitin is not covered and was told costs about $2,000 per treatment. There is financial assistance we can apply for. What he would gain from it might be an extra 5% living the next 5 years if he had taken just 5FU.
I'd like to hear from any other Canadians, especially from Ontario, who have been/are in a similar situation.
Thanks
