75 yo with slow progression 1 y after FOLFOX/bev -> 5-FU/bev?

What systemic treatment would you most likely recommend for the following patients:

A 75-year-old patient with asymptomatic mCRC responds to FOLFOX/bevacizumab but develops peripheral neuropathy. Oxaliplatin is stopped and the patient continues on 5-FU/bevacizumab with good treatment tolerance but after 1 year develops slow, minimally symptomatic disease progression on imaging and the peripheral neuropathy has still not resolved. The tumor is KRAS wild type.

Same patient as above, but the tumor is KRAS mutant?
