My mom is 71 years old and was just diagnosed in late July with stage 4 pan can with nodules to her lungs that are growing. She just started G-A two weeks ago. She will get it every other week due to her being extremely weak and tired. She did get a rash possibly from the Gem which was cleared up with prednisone. She has been tired but had zero nausea or vomiting. Tomorrow will be her second treatment. I hope she continues to tolerate. She really wants to fight this , but she’s awfully tired. Her last CA19-9 was up to 50k. We haven’t told her that, as she was worried when it hit 20.000. Has anyone heard of this number being so high? Back in April before she was diagnosed it was 1500 and we were worried then. Now I don’t know what to think!!!
