An aggressive schedule of gem/abraxane worked - is working for me, also(3 weeks on and 1 week off). I went from a CA19-9 of 14,000 down to 60.
I've been on this combo since August. I'm trying to get down to CA of 37 or in the 40's before I ask to go on to a maintenance schedule and hoping to last on it until the RMC 6236 becomes available- praying for next year. I think or hope (rather than it be bladder cancer) that the gem is the cause of my cystitis which has been very debilitating for me. I had no problems last year when I was on gem/abraxane, but I wasn't on the aggressive schedule back then. I got off my schedule for 3 full months following MRI radiation treatment on the liver. I have an aggressive version of pancreatic cancer I've been told. Best wishes to you. Naliri didn't work at all for me.
