Hi
Could you tell me what the C is as in GAC? My husband’s trial ended after 2 and a half years and the trial drug is no longer available. He still gets the gemabraxane but 19-9 is increasing.

Yes cisplatin. I was getting all 3 up until last week. @gamaryanne wrote recently that cisplatin only works for some mutations (BRCAs and PALBs, I believe). I did some online research and it seemed to beck up her post. markymarkfl responded that he thought the cis did boost effectiveness for his pancan (and he doesn’t have those mutations). I spoke with my oncologist and cited some clinical evidence for its overall effectiveness for many mutations, but he said the phase 2 of the trial wasn’t randomized, so he’s not 100% sure if it’s effective for other mutations like ATM, etc. I asked to try my infusion without cis so we will see if it impacts my CA19-9. I enjoyed feeling a bit better just being on GA last week rather than GAC, and I dint know if this has any relevance, but for the first time this year of chemo I developed neuropathy in my foot. it’s a bit better today but still there. My arrhythmia is better and only seems to be accelerated, but with the usual ectopic beats I was getting with my chemo before.

Sorry to hear drug isn’t available?? You are implying it was effective for him? What is the name of drug, if I may ask?
