I'm new to this discussion. I've had two rounds of 5-FU. I am on a two week cycle. Supposed to get FOLFOX twelve times every two weeks w 48 hours of 5-FU on a pump. The first round I had bad mouth sores and GI upset. On day 12 I did my pre- chemo bloodwork and my neutrophils were only 300 so I a had a week delay in treatment. When I saw the PA Onc, she said they thought it was a fluke and they made no changes. Second round all my symptoms were lessened but come day 12, I'm neutropenic again and I have a week delay in treatment. Now they sent me for DPD testing. I'm considering refusing the 5-FU if the results aren't in by Thurs (my chemo day). But I'm kind of wondering- it see likely people that have the deficiency were seriously ill after the first dose. Should I be worried?? Maybe it's the Neulesta that isn't working??
Any thoughts are appreciated. Thanks

From Dave B on 5FU response, not FOLFOX? I have a squamous carcinoma disease, a slow growth cancer caused by neurotoxin spider venom. Therefore, for my doctors did recommend and treat my rectal cancer in 2009, 2010 with 5-FU, a highly experimental / unproven drug. 5FU isfabricated in labs from extracts of spider venom. For me it was like throwing gasoline on a fire, inflammation occured. My sister Cathy had 5FU and did no good of any kind. ( see 1,2,3 new treatement that did do good.)
My 5FU treatment application was also by pump, Porta-catheter inside chest ( the device is left abandon through to this day). It pumped 5-FU into my main neck artery into my heart, circulating to my body. The most intense saturation was my heart and lungs which have been 50% disabled, there is a dehydration of the lung / heart tissues. All of which, has cause much more damage. There was not one sign of recovery. The 5-FU made things worse, the radiation did some good on the spot verification. The doctors and nurses don’t know what they are doing in this chemo regard and trust only the 5-FU marketing promoters (copy text) who to this day have no great success stories. To the contrary, there are people who have used 5-FU cream with horrid results.
IMHO, I would jump at the opportunity to support law suits against the makers and the treatment facilities who have used this reckless drug. It was to be used only as a last resort drug and like me, it is a frist resort, applied without allergic dangers / testing evaluations. The DPD testing is expensive but your insurance provider might cover it. Without the test, do not take the drug, IMHO.(CancerCompass should start petition).
If your cancer comes (knowingly or unknowingly) from spider, wasp or bee venom, I highly recommend that a toxicologist review your lab work and apply proven treatment methodologies.
The Bartholomew cancers’: Doctor’s discussion of Toxicology / Infectious Disease / Cancer Treatment
Spider Bites that started in 2007 ( now a Work Comp
case ) started 5 years ago, slow growth continues.
(b) The known venomization catagories and treatments for internal venomization illness / / necrosis neurotoxin / infectious disease? (not specific to hemotoxins, necrosis ).
1./ Hyperbaric Oxygen Medicine / Therapy Susan Rodriguez C.H.T. identified the Hyperbaric Pressurized Oxygen Tank Treatment in combination with IV / proper medications.
2./ Drug / anti-venom treatment IV drip: injecting 1/10th CC of Dexamethasone (a cortisone, see internet) Dexamethasoneananti-inflammatoryimmuno-suppressant. When taken orally, it is 26.6 times more potent than the naturally occurringhormonecortisol and 6.6 times more potent thanprednisone.
3./ Surgery removal of all the offending slow growth cancer tumors. (in other words, don't just zap the cancer, cut it out too.)
(c ) (background all research where venom may be cause of cancer cell multipling) Have doctors verify lab pathology ‘Spider Bite (Wasp, Bee) Venom’ as being the same as Slow Growth Squamous Cell Carcinoma Cancer. ( see Dave's 2008, 2009 Dr. Amster history,) The slow spread of cancer continues, despite the Work Comp cause of cancer, small slow growht cancer mounds increase with new insect bites. There are many new active cancerous / venom mounds, now more than 10 mounds and spreading. The spreading is much faster now after most recent spider bite Jan. 3, 2013, including anal / sphincter cancer mounds returning.
