Hi Helena
My cousin Maryann is also on Gem/Abraxane and has been on this treatment for 16 months now !!! It has kept her tumor the same size or shrunk it a little. She is able to handle it with few side affects Maryann has nausea for a day or two after treatment and she is tired however the treatment is helping her live her life with her family and grandchildren. In fact she is still working. Naturally she takes off from work a day or two on the week of treatment. Her boss is very understanding and looks out for her. Maryann has her treatment every other week and we always go out for lunch afterwards. Good luck to you. Let us know how the treatment is working Stay positive !
Sincerely Susan

Wow!!! I also have little or no side effects. I do have some body ache a day or two afterwards, but that's it! I am also still working full day. I work for a family owned Engineering Comp and they are SO good to me. I am working from home, and they don't expect from me to work full day, but I feel good, and it keeps my mind busy!
My CA19-9 count was 3587 when I was diagnosed in March, yesterday my Oncologist phoned me with my latest results and it's on 107 !! I will post an update after my scan on the 24th.
