Hi! I was diagnosed with stage 1 pancreatic cancer about 2 months ago. Have had 2 chemo treatments since, with the last resulting in some of my hair falling out (didn’t expect it to happen so fast!). Went ahead got the rest of it shaved, covers ordered. Oh! I’m also disabled. Spina bifida, a neurological disability since birth, which has left me unable to walk. Level T12. The only other symptom I’ve had was being tired. Does anyone know what else I can expect, especially considering my disability? Thanks!

Sorry to hear about your diagnosis, but happy to hear that you are diagnosed early. Does your oncologist suggest surgery in the future for you?
Which chemo treatment are you on? For most of them you can expect nausea for which there are good antinausea drugs out there like Zofran. You can also expect a bit of constipation or the runs or a combination of both, but their effects may be mild as in my case.
