Thank you so much .. I intend to make this clinic thread my main course of support group.. my oncologist is getting a call shortly or the pod team extension. I need to have a heart to heart about the NO abraxane and just the benzene… I felt not to well last night..and I expressed several concerns over the port… done outside…and last my cancer androgen flag went from 4758 to 8754 with just dose one last week of the gemzare/abraxane…I feel she is an excellent oncologist but hard to reach as well as her NP…..hopefully I can get through to them today….may God Bless you

Gem by itself is not very helpful. Not unusual for your number to go up after first treatment and then go down by 2nd treatment. Are you getting the pre meds (anti nausea, benedryl or prednisone)? It's normal to feel sick the first 3 or 4 days after your treatment. Drink lots of water and try to exercise.
