Hello Sue12fm

I'm sorry to hear that your husband's treatment at the end of last year was unsuccessful. I hope that the new treatment plan brings some good news. 

I've had a look through the forum and I can't see any recent posts from any members who have had this combination. We do have some information on our website that I can link about Gemcitabine and Abraxane which may be of interest. We also have some information about diet problems but if you've not already done so then it may be a good idea to speak to his specialist nurse about your concerns about his diet. They may be able to recommend some supplements to try and help boost him. 

If you'd like to speak to one of our nurses for some advice and support then you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040. They are available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. 

Keep in touch Sue and let us know how you're both doing. 
Best wishes,

Hi Sue

How are ye doing im just wondering how your husband got on with his chemo, my Dad is starting the same chemo tomorrow for pancreatic cancer diagnosed before Christmas 

Thanks x

Hi 

Unfortunately my husband passed away March 2020.  The Fulfirinox he had first just didn't work so by the time he was diagnosed terminal in Jan 2020 and went on to the other 2 chemo's he was just so ill his body couldn't take any of it.  I do, however, have a friend in his early 70's who was diagnosed terminal in December after having several sessions of the Fulfirinox and is now on the Gem / Abrax and doing extremely well.

All the best for your Dad
