I did 18 weeks of the triplet (Abraxane, gemcitabine, and cisplatin) — 2 weeks on, 1 week off. After a six-week break, I completed 33 days of radiation.

Today I’m 7 years and 3 months out, and my CA 19-9 is 18.

Just sharing in case it gives someone hope — long-term outcomes are possible.

@mcharlesfrancis Thank you for sharing your story. Were you on a Maintence drug after radiation?

@mcharlesfrancis Did you take a chemo pill during radiation? Did you have to take any Maintence drug or chemo?
