I was on Gemzar (short name) and Abraxane for about 2 months but got off Abraxine because I had a kidney, lung infection and could not get up one morning so ended up in hospital for IV antibiotics. Now I'm on just Gemzar until scan. First scan showed reduced growth in cancer mets in lung. The pancreas is stable. I was also rundown pre hospital from trip to Hawaii and trip to nieces wedding afterward. The second treatment of Abraxine I lost my hair but growing back with gemzar. I'm 73 with stage 4 pancreas cancer but it has been slow growing. It is a recurrence in lungs after being NED for almost three years. I'm getting treatment at UCLA. Good luck with treatment. leigh

Thank you Leigh, it is SO good to read some positive news. I'm going for my scan on the 24th (then I would have completed 9 sessions of Gem/Abraxane) I am PRAYING that my scan will show positive results. I also lost my hair soon after my 1st session, but it is starting to grow back nicely. Good luck with your treatments and I will keep you in my prayers. Stay strong.
Love
