I hope you are right. I guess I was most concerned because the Gem/Abrax was supposed to be 3 weeks on/1 off but after one round the platelets were too low so oncologist switched to every other week. But we will have CT Scan and Pet at Mayo in June so I guess we will know more than.

I have been doing Gemzar every other week since beginning it last July with a break around October for liver resection. Until very recently it was successful in keeping tumor growth at bay and keeping CA19-9 down.
Many doctors are going to the bi-monthly plan to preserve your chemistry and allow you to stay as healthy as possible . (For whatever is next!)
