I would like to add that I’m 66 years old and a have a few other health issues like occasional cardiac sinus arrhythmias when body under stress, high blood pressure, hard diabetes, allergies to all dust etc and asthma. I actually need to bring my weight down a little. My mets was in the liver, abdominal peritoneum, and celiac artery and started out at with CA19-9 at 3840. Liver lesions have shrunk but peritoneal masses are just stable. My CA19-9 is now 22!! I started off with GAC 3:1 schedule, but now am on a 2:2 schedule in order to extend longevity (my husband’s suggestion) to the treatments. When I read how several others are on GAC for so many months I’ve been given such hope (I started in January of this year) as it seems I may be able to see my daughter graduate from college next year in 2025!!! I’ve been active and working part time (outside of a break in early 2023 following my surgery and chemo treatments with fulfirnox). I have so many people praying for me (from many different religions) so my conclusion is in a way you must persevere as if this disease doesn’t exist within you and have faith in God and you will make it through your journey. Granted I did recently sell our home, but did give the majority of profits to our son and daughter and now live even closer to the beach and without any debt now!
