My wife is also taking the Cape and Temoz, in the pill version. She has a primary mass on her tail of pancreas, which spread to liver. She has completed 9 cycles, like yours, and has tolerated it fairly well. The chemo has reduced the number of tumors on the liver and pancreas by about 70%. She is at the point where the chemo has done about all the work it will do, and surgery on March 1st is next. The plan depending on how that goes, is to get this where it is only a maintenance item with the possibility of still needing the Lanreotide injections monthly. Is there goal with the chemo in your case to reduce the tumors, to get where surgery might be possible?

Thank you for sharing part of your journey.
Im told I cant have surgery as Ive had radio therapy twice in the same area and Im told by my oncologist with having radio therapy the surgeons wont operate as the previous treatment would have made it to complicated.
So, the treatment Im on is to reduce the tumours as much as possible then keep them stable.
