I had 12 cycles of Folfox. 8 probably would have been sufficient.

@jaspithill1946 I’ve heard treatment has come a long way. Did you have any severe side effects? I know I’ll have a few im sure and everyone reacts differently. Said hair loss and vomiting aren’t highly likely but we’ll see

@jaspithill1946 yes, I have heard that 8 treatments do the most good….pain-gain ratio should be a consideration….docs often over-prescribe…I’d want to test after 6 or 8 to see how it’s going.
