I was not tested for DPD enzyme deficiency, and I took the 5-FU, turns out I am DPD enzyme deficient, and I struggled with toxicity from the 5-FU. Thankfully Dr. recognize what was going on and made adjustments to my treatment and I was able to recover, but not without severe suffering first.
I’m so pleased you recovered. My daughter had this deficiency. I’m so scared of the chemo. My youngest daughter as a baby nearly died from her first and second doses of chemo. On both occasions she had to be revived by the hospital crash team.
