He was adamant that he wanted no more neuropathy from more chemo which is why they left out the components that contribute to that. Prayers back at you!

I understand. There's a local surgeon who uses the same oncologist as my wife who stopped the folfirinox after 6 treatments (my wife went 9) and then he went for SBRT and surgery with the same surgeon at Johns Hopkins. He insisted that his neuropathy couldn't get any worse or he'd lose his ability to do surgery. We lost contact with him after he stopped going for infusion. My wife and oncologist have been damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead until all these severe side effects set in. When you're going for a cure it's hard to let side effects be a deterrent but everyone's circumstances are different.
