Anyone with KRAS G12V mutation with an alternative approach to SoC?

Was the Gem / Abrax throughout the 3 years continious? Meaning did he receive chemo on a regular basis (weekly, biweekly etc) , or were there breaks such as 6 months on 4 months off ? Up until recently I hadn't heard of chemotherapy ever being administered for this long, but there seems to be cases on this forum where patients receive chemo for prolonged periods.

He had one break of 6 weeks this past February to do the radiation,
He started on 3 weeks a month and then switched to twice a month for platelets to recover in between.
Otherwise, no break. But life is good, considering.

I’ve heard of patients being on 5FU for 10 years and counting (per one of my wife’s doctors at Fred Hutchinson in Seattle). Not common or likely, but anything is possible.
