@gvk911 I wouldn't be surprised if your prostate cancer is related. About 90% of prostate cancer diagnoses are also adenocarcinoma. Good luck with your CT scan today. Let us know how it goes? I have a different type of pancreatic cancer. I have not been on Gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel (Abraxane), but others here have. There are some ways to help manage the side effects of the treatment. Anyone that has experience with this treatment, do you have any suggestions? Thanks.

@tomrennie I was on Gem/Abrax and it caused much more peripheral neuropathy than the Folfirinox I'd had previously. It seems to be very subjective and some people are afflicted and others not. You might talk to your oncologist about cold therapy and the booties/mittens before starting Gem/Abrax. I sure wish I'd have know about the cold therapy before starting on it. "I have a different type of pancreatic cancer." Is it the acinar cell type?
