FLOT chemotherapy? How many rounds?

Did they give you an estimate of how many rounds it was going to be? We just left the meeting with the chemo lady and she said it’s however many it takes to get to where he needs to be. That feels so daunting right now. I’m completely overwhelmed. It’s no end in sight with scans to monitor. Please tell me this isn’t unusual. Most people I know are saying they did between 3 and 4 rounds before surgery and then how ever many afterward was needed.

Hi.
Sorry I hAvent been on in a while. For myself in the PHOX trial I have had 4 FLOT and 2 FOLFOX coming to be followed by 15 proton rad.
I am right there with you. I am frustrated with the mayo. They are tight lipped, evasive and i cant get s straight answer from any one. I guess they dont know and maybe dont want to give false hope.
