  • Hi  and welcome to this friendly group. Lots of varying experiences here to help you along the way. The initial chemo is usually called Gem/Cis. A combination of Gemcitabine and Cisplatin, but could vary. I had six weeks of this and coped quite well. Once you find out exactly what you will be having, we should be able to support you more. Feel free to ask any questions or just come to talk. Best wishes. 

    Best wishes to All,   rily.
