Who else has had Gem-Abraxane chemo regimen and for how long?

I was on gem-abraxane-cis from early January this year and then off for 10 days as I caught Covid; continued on this until September and then dropped cisplatin and boy did I feel much better. Still continuing on strong with a normal tumor marker and faint side effects from the chemo. Wishing the same for your husband.

You did say lesions on your liver shrunk - did I remember correctly? My husband does not have Cistaplin and you are like him in that Gem-Abraxane has few side effects. Only the occasion bad tummy, fatigue and what he calls "brain fog" (like slightly intoxicated). I am so glad it is working for you - so you have been on it for almost a year? He has been on it for 8 months - first 4 months it was 3 weeks on, 1 week off; then onco spaced it out to fortnightly, and in the last 2 months it has been one treatment every 3 weeks. I asked onco if it could stretch to once a month and she said - we will see. PET scan every 2 months - I am just surprised my husband does not glow in the dark!
