First thing God Bless you both it is a bumpy road my wife and I are three treatments into a stage four pancreatic cancer when we started they gave it a stage 1 status and then after a pet scan they found two spots on the liver which then bumped it up to stage 4 which was like getting hit with a baseball bat now we are in to the iv treatment phase with 3 treatments completed and 9 more to go its not being nice to my wife not eating, no energy but the nausea is relentless we cant get anything to work. Do you have any ideas? What did yall use
Thank you and God Bless

Hello @arffman1 and welcome to Mayo Connect. I can certainly understand how you would feel overwhelmed with a Stage IV diagnosis. I would encourage you to read some of the other posts by members who have the same diagnosis such as @stageivsurvivor. Here is information about his journey with a Stage IV diagnosis with pancreatic cancer,

When did your wife's chemo treatments begin?

Alec, sorry about what you are going through.
My wife vomited for 12 hours (from 8pm on day #2 to 8am on day #3) after her #1 chemo treatment. The Dr added Emend to her premeds given before chemo drugs and she’s not had that issue since, she just had #7.
Hope you find what works for your wife.
