Anyone on Gemcitabine with Abraxane? How long? Effective?

Not I, although I have had a sensation of being chilled fairly often (we live in an old COLD farmhouse in snow country).
From my reading chills with fever seems to be regarded as an ominous combination, with a consistent recommendation that anyone experiencing this combination of signs does need evaluation to rule out an infection being present that has reached the blood stream.
Perhaps at least worth a call into whatever your triage system is.

A feW days into his Sxs he was instructed by his Rx team to go to the urgent care facility at the hospital. They worked him up , CXR, blood cultures etc. All came back negative. Sent him home w antibiotics. Fevers finally subsided. He was able to have his second treatment this past week. So far all is good except for fatigue, although his Hgb was 8 at the time of Rx. I questioned the treshold for holdimg Rx but was told he could proceed. Hope he adjusts to this chemo. Thanks for your feedback. Best to all battling this dreaded cancer.
