Did they discuss Gemzar for your mom? Folfurinox can be very tough but most find Gemzar to be easier to tolerate.
You might have a discussion about this drug for her.
@rbaum123 , I'm very sorry to hear about your mom. Delays are almost never good in cancer treatment. There may still be some treatment options, but it definitely depends on what your mom wants to do, just how weak/frail she actually is, and what medical centers she has access to. I fully understand and respect any well-informed decision not to treat as well. Wishing you both all the best.
