He also had radiation everyday for 6 weeks and had a chemo pump that entire time. I really can’t say which regimen worked the best. They both had pros and cons. Both “worked” at the time I guess. It was a very hard battle for 3.5 years.
In my wife's case, the combinations which included platinum (oxalyplaten with folfirinox: cisplaten with gemcitibine/abraxane) were the most effective, but also the most debilitating side effects.
So far we have tried FOLFOX - 5FU, leucovorin and oxaliplatine. Tough for side effects. It was recently changed for FOLFIRI- 5 FU , Leucovorin and Itinotecan.
