Hi. My cousin has been on gem/Abraxane for almost 19 months now. She takes the chemo every other week and it is keeping her tumor basically the same size or a little smaller. First they give her a steroid for nauseated. She is tolerating the gem/Abraxane very well with very few side effects. She does get tired and a little nauseous for a few days after treatment but she still has an appetite and is still working !! She is so positive and amazing. Her pancreatic cancer is stage iv and is in the tail It is non operative because it is near the vein or artery. This treatment is keeping her living her life
Sincerely Susan
