Wife has stage 4 pancreatic cancer since May, looking for answers!

Windy5… I am so sorry to hear your news.We have been battling this awful disease for 3 1/2 years.My husband was able to have surgery, but it came back and we have been through various chemo programs.Recently he’s been battling infections.If the chemotherapy is causing your wife so many side effects and health issues, I would suggest further discussions with the Upper GI medical oncology team.Your wife needs ‘quality’ time and a balance between treatment and care.Also talk to the specialist nurses here at pancreatic cancer.They have so much experience and may be able to advise on other treatments . As a carer you, as I do, carry a heavy burden, so you must take care of yourself. Sending you best wishes.It is a battle, but we have to keep fighting for our loved ones.

Thank you, for taking the time to reply, it means alot. Being a care giver, and managing everything else is difficult at times. This whole thing has changed my outlook on food, I only eat whole foods, no more processed junk, no more alcohol. I try to find time to for me but it's not easy. I will ask her doctor more information on balancing things. Thank you

Hi I’m so sorry, I understand completely what you are going through my husband is 48 and was diagnosed in March with pancreatic cancer. Then at the end of may was told it was stage 4!

he’s starting palliative chemo Wednesday. But has lost 5 stone in constant pain can’t hardly eat, no one will tell us what to expect from chemo or even help with the pain only give him morphine which isn’t helping x
