Replies to "Folfirinox was really tough on my husband - fatigue, significant weight loss and generally no energy..."
My husband's CA19-9 numbers came down dramatically during those 6 months which is why he kept at the folfirinox. The doctor gave him the choice to stop as it really was terrible for him (and for me). He definitely could not walk a mile when on folfirinox. The G/A so far is definitely easier to tolerate, though still on the couch most of the time. But, he's back to noticing what is going on around him which is nice. Just pointed out the crescent moon and venus hanging in the sky. Nice to be able to converse again. Yes, I am hopeful. Just didn't think we would be in this medical position for another 10 or 20 years... I just lost my mom at 100 years of age, and we've always been so healthy that I assumed we had decades left for kayaking and hiking. You just never know...
