Has anyone tried blue light treatment combined with Efudex?

I have had nine blue light treatments (and one red light treatment) on my scalp, face/cheeks and ears over the past ten years or so and the treatment has been excellent. My dermatologist, who I have seen for many years now and is my “go to” dermatology person on everything, has been excellent.
I have also had separate Efudex treatment on the same scalp, face/cheek and ear areas (as well as arms at another time) and the results were equally good, much more painful, uncomfortable and challenging.
Recently, I spoke to another dermatologist (at the same institution) who also recommended a combination of Efudex, once a day for seven days, AND then the blue light treatment on the eighth day. Has anyone tried this and what was the experience? Much appreciate any insight on this combination treatment.
