Refusing folfox treatment after chemoradiation

I'm stage 3A. I had surgery to remove the tumor in my hepatic flexure. I started Folfox about a month after surgery. I did 2 of 6-12 rounds and decided to quit because it was causing severe stomach pain and neurological symptoms in my arms and legs. I'm now 70 and maybe cancer will be my cause of death but in the meantime, I'm back living life to the fullest extent possible instead of being medically tortured. I'm currently one year ned.

@dselland amazing that you are NED after just 2 difficult treatments…way to go ! I too am older and put the highest value on quality of life for my remaining years.

@dselland I’m with you!
Make the most of every day!
