Recently diagnosed with Pancreatic cancer (around 4 months ago first suspected) now confirmed. Have upped creon dose which has helped bloating and gut spasms/pain. Awaiting a Whipple procedure late July.
For last 3 days have felt great, pain free on waking and for rest of day, lots of energy etc but this afternoon it's like my batteries have died and am completely exhausted. Is this the norm? Are others here experiencing the same?
I am still trying to get my dosage of creon right. I find buscapan helps with the cramps.
I have had my whipple procedure (5 weeks ago).
I too have good and bad days but have put it down to trying new foods and not getting dosage right. But also to feeling depressed which leaves me feeling lethargic.
