If you have advanced colorectal cancer, it is likely that you are undergoing treatment with FOLFOX to keep the cancer in check and/or to relieve pain rather than seek a cure.

If this is a subject that is of interest to you, we have created a list of factors to consider to help you decide what you want to do, and when. Thinking about the factors one-by-one can help minimize the emotions involved in even a discussion about this subject, much less a decision. For more information, click here.
