@johnny2053, I'm tagging @waflanders to make sure they saw your question. I believe @alie @edie78t @lovingwifeterry also had treatment with gemcitabine and cisplatin plus durvalumab and may be able to share their experiences.

Johnny, did you decide to go ahead with treatment? How are you doing?

I have been on this regimen since June 29, 2023. I am on a 3-week cycle, chemo on the first day of the first 2 weeks and off the 3rd week. I only get the Imfinzi once on that cycle. I had a scan after 4 cycles and the size of the tumor was "relatively unchanged". However, the good news is that I have been able to manage the side effects well which includes (for me), nausea feeling, fatigue, loss of appetite and constipation.

You can manage the side effects by reading up and by trial and error to see what works and what does not. If your tumor is growing, you should not wait! Hope this helps.

Not yet my cancer is very slow going and my oncologist said to wait , We also send my cancer and blood for molecular screening
