Anyone on Gemcitabine with Abraxane? How long? Effective?
Hi, I'm Helena from South Africa. I have been diagnosed with PC, stage 4, in March. Tumour between body and tail and with one lesion on my liver.
I have been on Folfirinox for 3months, but it had no effect, allthough my markers came down from 3091 to 357, the tumour increased in size and there is another lesion on my liver.
I have started Gemcitabine with Abraxane.
Has anyone been on Gemcitabine/Abraxane?
If so, how long and how effective is this treatment?

@pam79, are you and your sister still at Mayo Clinic? In Rochester? There are many things to do. I encourage you to check out the Cancer Education Center if you haven't already in the lobby of the Gonda building. Here's more information:
- General https://connect.mayoclinic.org/blog/cancer-education-center/
- Classes https://connect.mayoclinic.org/blog/cancer-education-center/tab/offerings/#ch-tab-navigation
They have kind people to greet you and offer support where you may need it.
Be sure to also stop in to Concierge Services in Mayo Building (lobby level, in the International Center)

They can tell you more about what is going on in Rochester, Mayo Clinic, and make recommendations from activities to restaurants to quiet places to visit to art tours and more.
