Hey guys, i wanted to know... with the 5FU & Leucovorin regimen, how many days do you have to stay in hospital?

Is it 5 days in... or 1 day in? How exactly does the schedule go?

This is not the regimen which has Oxaliplatin, its just the 5FU & Leucovorin only.

James.

Hi Crawford..I had same regimine 4 1/2 years ago, don't know what your dosage is but mine was 750mg i would have it as push from a syringe I would maybe be in outpatient for 2-3 hours 5 days straight once a month for 7 months.

The best thing is to talk to your doctor about what your treatments will involve how much ,how long ,etc etc.

hope goes well..God Bless!!
