Anyone on Gemcitabine with Abraxane? How long? Effective?
Pancreatic Cancer | Last Active: 13 hours ago | Replies (182)Comment receiving replies
My husband has stage IV pancreatic cancer with Mets to his liver. He had four cycles of Folfirinox with progression of his cancer. He was switched to gemcitabine and abraxane. He has had three doses so far. Does anyone else get fevers for a few days after their treatment?

@shscott i’ve had four rounds of gem/abrax with heavy fatigue but no fever. Lost all my hair and have nerapothy fingers and toes are numb but had good CAT results 35% shrinkage liver lesions and stomach lesions
@shscott Yes I was on gemcitabine and abraxane and got fevers for few days after treatment. I took Tylenol every 6 hours to help keep the fever in check. It mainly worked but I would still get cold and bundle up and that would raise my temps again, so I had to drink cool drinks and unbundle to get the temp down.

I've been on gemcitabine and abraxane, biweekly, for the past two months, 4 treatments so far. Fatigue is the biggest of my issues, maybe a little joint pain. No fever. Good luck.

@shscott My father had the same treatments. The Gem/Abrax took a bit of a toll on him, much more than the Folfirinox did. He would be super weak after treatments- but I do not recall any fevers.
