Hi folks. I was diagnosed with rectal cancer at the beginning of June and I am now nearly six weeks post operative following an anterior resection of the bowel. I was disappointed to find that the cancer had spread to lymph nodes and so I am awaiting chemo therapy with Folfox. I am almost more apprehensive about starting chemo that I was about the operation but I understand that everyone reacts differently and I will just have to wait and see. I wonder what experiences other people have had with this combination of drugs and also how long it took to get out of the system once the cycles have stopped. I am having 12 cycles every 2 weeks, so basically 6 months. Thank you for reading.
