Anyone been in this situation?
BRCA1 gene has caused me to have apparently (no tissue has been found, this is based on a blood biopsy) cancer in my bile ducts, pancreas, peritoneum and lungs.
Thanks Cancer.
My specialist says it will respond extremely well to the gem/cis/durv regimen I began 2 weeks ago when the concensus was that the primary was in my bile ducts.
I have BRCA1 in 48% of my cells. Makes it nice and easy to hit!
Good wishes Amanda
Hi AHG123
I haven't been in the same situation as you but noticed that your post hadn't had any replies yet. Responding to you will 'bump' it back to the top of the discussion list again.
While you're waiting for replies, it would be great if you could put something about your diagnosis and proposed treatment into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
