Hi there - I am writing on behalf of my aunt, who was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer in Sept. 04. She was taking the GTX chemo protocol (Gemzar/Taxotere/Xeloda) for the past 9 months with good results; however, she may have developed a resistance.
She is looking into a combination therapy using Erbitux and Irenotecan (CPT-11, I think) together. This is a combination used for colon cancer in the past, I think. We're wondering about side effects.
Also, Does anyone have experience with this combination therapy for Pancreatic cancer? Please let me know, we're looking for any help or advice or stories out there. Thanks.
Elizabeth
