my mom was just dianosed with pan can with mets to liver on 4/17/09. She met with the oncolgist, and he recommended Gemzar, but not Teraceva.
Can anyone enlighten as to why one but not the other. 'what are benefits of one over the other?
What is life expectency when with these drugs.
Hi - hope all is going well with your Mom.
I had Pancreatic Cancer and had the Whipple Procedure done August 2006. I did 6 weeks of radiation then started chemo.
I have been on GEMZAR and 5FU since October of 2006 and just started taking Xeloda 6 weeks ago.
All seems to be going ok so far other then the normal aches, pains and side effects......
Prayers out to your Mom and you. God bless and take care.
