<p>Unsure where to write but thanks to all who responded to my last note.</p>
<p>I finished first cycle of gemcitabine with few hitches, no nauseau and no hair thinning as yet. My white cell count dropped but I had an injection of GSF to boost this sucessfully. It's my week off and then I think I'm commencing Capcitabine with Gemcitabine 2nd cycle.</p>
<p>Does anyone know what benefits if any financially I would be entitles to. I'm currently still on full pay but that halves next month although I will get sickness benefit. Cancerbackup will also cover GP costs if nedd, in my area we pay £34 per visit! Scandalous! I'm by no means broke but having worked as nurse 30 years feel I fel no guilt in claiming charity.</p>
<p> As mentioned prior I was diagnosed April and had whipples procedure. can anyone give me timescales since their surgery and how they are progressing and any prognosis?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This is a great site and thanks all so much for feedback.</p>
