How Long Does One Need to Apply Efudex for Results?

Kaiser
I was prescribed Effudex for AK. The doctor wanted me to apply twice a day for six weeks. I could only tolerate three weeks, the burn and pain was intolerable. I have scabbed and crusted, will three weeks give me results? I will never do this again.
