My mum has recently been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and had the Whipple operation. She lives on the continent and I need to manage my own work, annual leave, my children, travel and so on while wanting to support her during the hopefully 6 months of two weekly chemotherapy. Her plan is a day at the dayclinic for the boluses and then 76 hrs of chemo via a small pump at home. I would like to have an idea when in the 14 days after day one being the dayclinic she will be most in need of hands on support so would appreciate experiences of Folfirinox regimens. She is 67 yrs old, lives alone and pre all this was active and fit, she is still struggling with food, energy and digestion after the Whipple but is getting stronger slowly day by day. The dayclinic is not far from where she lives and she will have something comparable to a CNS/Chemonurse and a hotline to call. Thank you for any responses of those who have experienced themselves or are supporting someone through this.
