Can you tell me how you are doing on Abraxane my brother Frankie just started chemo last week it is twice a month for six months , he had the Whipple surgery August 16, 2024 and all the tumor was removed from the head of the pancreas he had one lymph node positive out of 27 And no spread of the disease I was just very surprised that he was having Abraxane for treatment since I read it is a very strong chemo And for advanced or metastasized pancreatic cancer.

Folfirinox is generally considered a harder chemo treatment to tolerate than Gemcitabine + Abraxane (GA). I started GA + Cisplatin 2 years ago after my post-Whipple recurrence with metastasis, and am doing well on it -- better than I did pre-Whipple on Folfirinox. It depends a lot on the patient (individual responses vary widely). Wish I had done the GAC before Whipple.
