Pancreatic Cancer Group: Introduce yourself and connect with others

Hello. I am caregiver for my husband who was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in Feb. 2023. He had both chemotherapy and a Whipple Procedure. He is doing pretty well and blood tests and CT scans show no signs of cancer. He’s on enzyme therapy. But we still have concerns with his digestion.

What issues are you having with digestion? Are you taking enzymes? Have you changed your diet to significantly reduce fat intake as our newly reconstructed digestive systems can’t handle fat.

Sometimes it takes trial and error to figure out the dosage you need to aid in digestion. I had the distal surgery which is not as invasive to the digestive system and I no longer need to take them. Also, diet is crucial- stay away from fatty foods (difficult to digest) and eat food in small portions.
