Yes, I had mild to moderate pain in the abdominal area up until I started receiving the GAC chemo. My recent CT shows the masses are stable and haven’t increased in size. I recently tested positive for CLD-18.2 protein which according to my oncology has showed promising results for gastric cancer. The current clinical trial is for pancreatic cancer and is being held at UCLA in California. When my chemo stops being effective I’m ready to go into the clinical trial which I hope will work on the masses in the peritoneal area.

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!
