Anyone on Gemcitabine with Abraxane? How long? Effective?

Hi, I see many patients saying that they get Gem/Abraxane on a 2 week cycle? I get chemo sessions every 7th day, for 3 sessions (day 1, day 8, day 15), then a week rest, and then 3 sessions, etc.

My husband has done the weekly treatments for 3 weeks and then 1 week off. His Ca19-9 dropped to 59 after his second cycle so we are heading back to Mayo in 2 weeks and are hopeful he will be able to have the Whipple surgery. He is still very tired and weak. No appetite. I am hoping he starts feeling better soon. He was staged a 2b or 3 last December. His scans in June looked good and we are hoping the scans this month will be even better. I have not heard of the Napoli treatment.
