Hi Colleen. The post was for my brother. He is having his fifth cycle of folfirinox tomorrow. He has had at least a 40% decrease in the CA 19-9 with each of the last two treatments. And he feels great. We have been reaching out to other oncologist/surgical oncologists w/in the US.

Hi Colleen, thank you for asking. He's doing ok, just had his chemo consult and he will be starting chemo the first week in September. This forum has been so helpful. He will be doing folfirinox. The oncologist also mentioned a clinical trial which he's very interested in. We were given the literature to look over, but it's essentially the pancreatic cancer vaccine along with immunotherapy in addition to the folfirinox to give even more protection against any cancer cells. This is the second phase of the clinical trial.
