Gemcitabine-Abraxane-Cisplatin
Those are the 3 main chemicals in this chemo treatment. I had surgery in 2022 and got the Fulfirnox chemo treatment which was good but didn’t affect the growth around my artery so it spread to liver as lesions. Usually in stage 4 they give you GAC because it’s not as harsh as Fulfirnox (which I had no trouble with by the way). I do see posts where plenty get Fulfirnox (modified) in stage 4, but maybe it’s just for those whose cancer was discovered at stage 4 and this is their first line of
treatment? As someone mentioned in some post, many drs line to follow protocol and that may just get you the safe, typical response. Don’t be afraid to get an oncologist who thinks outside the box, though! Hoping the best for you
