She is feeling well. Fatigued at times but not all of the time.
Mental disposition is rougher than the physical disposition currently. Complete roller coaster of emotions for us both. This diagnosis came as a lightning bolt for us as she is really healthy and always was except for this cancer. What a lonely disease this is.

Very lonely, indeed. I had a similar path. Diagnosed 8/22, did 2 cycles FOLFIRINOX with tumor progression, switched to Gem/Abrax and tolerated much better. Plus, tumor responded very well! Local surgeon refused surgery due to vascular involvement. Oncologist recommended continuing chemo for 6 rounds then completing 28 days if radiation. Once radiation was complete, I saw Dr Truty at Mayo. He is an absolute expert in PC with vascular involvement. I had surgery 7/23. I would definitely recommend seeking a 2nd opinion for your wife.
