Tim, I was diagnosed with stage 4 in June of 2022. My cancer is adenocarcinoma & started in the tail but had metastasized to the lungs. At the time I was told it was inoperable, I asked what the prognosis was & was told 2-3 months without treatment & 11 months with chemo. I have surpassed that & was happy to send a note after the 11 months to that doc that I was still alive & doing well. I have had 44 Chemo treatments with gemcitabine & Abraxane & am now in "radiologic remission".
So no one can really tell you how long or how you will feel. I knew I would lose my hair & I did. I thought I would lose weight & gained 20 pounds. Every patient is different.
Some do not like to talk about prayers, but when asked that was what I asked for, not stuff! I believed those prayers helped me fight this & hopefully will continue to soldier on 🙂
Sure there were times I was depressed but I made it through.
Praying for the best for you & your wife. ( I am 74).
