I'm sorry but I don't have the answer to your question. I am in the process of have blood maker testing done through Guardant. it's called the 360 test. This test will capture the DNA shed from tumors in the blood. It will provide a comprehensive overview of the genomics in both the primary tumor and metastatic sites. The test is used to detect gene mutations in circulating cell free DNA {cfDNA}. The hope is they will be able to identify the best form of treatments going forward. Hope this information may help. I certainly wish you all the best in your fight.

I was just reading through this post again and was wondering how you are doing with the chemo. You are getting the stronger chemo that I got before my distal surgery. I’m interested to know how it works post surgery. I’m now just on GA chemo as I dropped the cisplatin and so far my CA19-9 is still in the normal range. However always hoping some immunotherapy comes along the way so that I can stop chemo. Side effects aren’t bad for me, just hoping something long term is discovered someday soon.

That’s wonderful and so important to know. You are headed in the right direction as knowledge is key as we have to try and be smarter and one step ahead of the cancer.
