My Oncologist didn’t say anything about mutation. My first 11 chemo treatments had Oxiliaplatin in the mix with FU5. He then dropped Oxiliaplatin because of it was wearing on me and I got neuropathy in my feet. I didn’t get it in my hand. I have had a total of 41 treatments over two years. I have taken some breaks for vacations which is good for the body to recover. Just last week got good news from my MRI that said no mass was identified. My pancreas cancer is a rare form called Acinar.
Sending my prayers to you! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

That is awesome news—very happy for you! What stage were you? Just wondering why you opted for so many chemo sessions. I do want my mom to continue chemo even though she is not stage IV to reduce the risk of it coming back.

Thank you for sharing your story. I am amazed that you could have 41 sessions of chemo. I have had 9 and it seems like a lot to me. It does go OK for me.
