Hi all

i have been told my cancer hasn’t spread (PET scan) so all set for neo adjuvant FOLFIRINOX and if I’m lucky a Whipple procedure.

my first oncology appointment is on Wednesday.  Any tips or advice on the chemo and things I should be aware of?  Anything I can do before treatment starts to help?

I had breast cancer 5 years ago but had surgery and radio.  This cancer feels very different.

thanks

  • Hello  

    I am Brian one of the Community Champions here at Macmillan. I have just noticed you post has gone unanswered, I can't answer it myself as I have a different cancer, however by me replying, it will be "bumped" up to the top of the page and I hope you receive some replies from other group members.

    As it's Wednesday I hope your oncology appointment goes well and I wish you well going forward.

    Best wishes - Brian.
