He has an appointment in 2 weeks to discuss Pallative Chemo anybody had any experisnce of this please 

  • Hi  

    I don't have any experience with palliative chemo 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.

    You might also want to post this in the pancreatic cancer group to see if others there have had this treatment for that type of cancer.

    ((hugs))

  • Hi so sorry you have to go through this….. you’re not alone.  My husband is going through the same, all of these feelings are normal reactions.  They’re certainly the same as ours.  My husband has just started 5 days of palliative radiotherapy.  He had palliative chemo which had he a partial response to it, symptoms were managed for a couple of months. He even said after the second he felt almost like his old self.  We are now in regular contact with the Palliative care team.  My husband wants to stay at home but even as a retired nurse I’m not sure how I will cope.  I know we are getting close to the end and it breaks my heart.  He also talks about Christmas dinner  but realistically he can’t keep water down for long. But if it makes hI’m  to think about celebrations I’ll take that.  

    I know this post was a month ago, I hope things have made both your lives easier x
