@199 I am very encouraged to read about your success with Gemcitabine and Abraxane. I am trying to calculate how long it took for you to receive 85 treatments with your schedule. Certainly a few years. But you have most certainly defied your doctor's initial predictions and have hung in there through many ups and downs. My husband is having his 4th infusion tomorrow, but has already lost a great deal of weight. I'm concerned that this may slow his progress in chemotherapy or halt it altogether, since he looks almost skeletal to me. He is eating as much as he can stomach, but nothing seems to "stick." Did you ever face that challenge with weight loss? Perhaps it is not as huge an issue as I fear. I will be asking his oncologist what she thinks.

@199 Good luck with your PET scan this week. I had a hospital testing day yesterday. Nothing too alarming, but need to do another tour of ologist appointments. At times, I feel like a quarterback directing all of the moving players of the care team. But, they are keeping me alive as comfortably as possible. Anyone else ever feel this way?
