I have stage 4 duodenal cancer that has metastasized to my lungs. I had 6 months of Folfox, 6 months off and then started Folfiri and have completed 30 rounds. I have minimal growth and the disease is considered stable. I have no shortness of breath, coughing or low oxygen.

Unfortunately, chemo is my only treatment option and I'm on it until it stops working or my body cant tolerate it. I am lucky enough to suffer minimal side effects except for crashing platelets, which I only know about from bloodwork. I am on platelet meds which are slowly working (and painful).

My question is what is the longest I can hope for? Is 60 rounds doable? Has someone gone years on Folfiri?
