Hi Robee,
Good on you! What was your stage? Was it resectable? How many sessions of chemo? Was it the Filfirinox? Did you support that chemo.
I have been very sick and the oncologist has decide to put me on Gemcitabine.
I wonder if it will give good results at the Filfirinox...

Stage 4 and unresectable. Just finished 18th round of Folfirinox minus oxilaplatin. Was told this is the “gold standard” but apparently from all the comments in this blog, the administration of the chemo can vary.
Have you asked ur oncologist about administration at a slower rate or reducing the amounts to make chemo more tolerable? Those were suggestions I received when I went to JH for a second opinion. Unfortunately JH is too far for me to travel to for chemo every other week.
