I went for a routine colonoscopy on July 12th and was told that I have colon cancer and needed an operation. Went and was operated on July 17th. Took out 23 nyph nodes. One had cancer cells in it. Therefore, need chemo. Very confused as to which I should do. Dr.
wants me to choose between Flox which is administered intervenously once a week for two hours in the hospital. I have Rayauds syndrome. Hence my veins disappear. The other is Folfox it would be administered through a port inplanted under the collar bone. With that treatment I would be going home with is a canister filled with chemo and it takes two days to go into my body.
I am very confused. Need to know who is out there that has had these treatments and the pros and cons of both. Must give the Dr. an answer as to what I would like to do before Wednesday Sept. 6th.
