Hello, 

my (31F) mum (60) was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer with liver mets end of Jan and we are about to start FOLFIRINOX Chemo treatment roughly 6 weeks later… far too much waiting around for pancreatic cancer. We’ve been told it’s incurable but I think this is a chemo which MIGHT shrink the tumour? Feel like I’m clinging on to any hope I can because the thought of loosing my mum is absolutely crushing. 

can anyone shed any light on their experience with this chemo? What happened after the 12 rounds and how bad were the side effects? Is there anything we can do to mitigate these side effects
