Anyone on Gemcitabine with Abraxane? How long? Effective?

Hi, I was sick and nauseous most of the time while I was on Folfirinox. I have had my 2nd session of the gem/abraxane today. Don't know if it is still too early, but I did not have any side effects since I've started. Just a little bit of body aches, but nothing serious.
My WBC was a bit low last week, so I had to skip a session. Going every 7th day and will scan in October.
I pray and believe that it will have a positive effect on the markers and the tumor size.
All of the best to you and your husband, believe and stay strong
Regards
Helena

In addition to @lfitz, members @chemobile @colorafo19 @beachdog @dugancarol also have experience with Abraxane (nab-paclitaxel) plus Gemzar (gemcitabine) and can share more.
How are you feeling, Helen?

I hope you continue to feel well and this treatment will work well for you. I read another post about a lady who is stage IV and has been doing well for 5 years. Truly amazing and inspiring!
