I have had this chemo combo a couple of times for my skin mets. It worked great for me. I keep going back on it because skin mets keep popping up which is what happens with skin mets. My oncologist only keeps me on it long enough to kick the mets and then I have the break. He is big on quality of life and says the less chemo for the body the better he likes it. I am aware the chemo can kill us as well as the disease. It can also cause lots of side effects. Anyway, its a good combo for lots of people. I had severe constipation the first 3 days so I take lots of prune juice and eat prones. Had the metalic taste in my mouth which was awful and I had a hard time to eat healthy food. This combo is doable and if that is what it takes then do it. We are all different and so have to find what works for us. Good luck, hugs, Sandy
