@margaretpaluch So he doesn't start treatment until next week? Do you happen to know what type of pancreatic cancer he has? There are several different types with adenocarcinoma being the most common. Each type may require different types of tests and treatment. Also, do you know what the 4 medications are that are in the infusion? Finally, is he being treated at a healthcare system that has a care team that specializes in treating pancreatic cancer? Which healthcare system? Maybe someone on here is being treated there. Sorry for all of the questions, but it will help us folks share our treatment and experiences that are similar to your husband's. We don't really want to overload you with stuff that doesn't apply to him. Information overload, and not knowing what really matters and doesn't, is the hardest part initially. Most of us know how helpless that feels and it is horrible. Just take a deep breath and let us help you. OK?

Hes starting chemo next week. - Plan to start NALIRIFOX q. 28-day cycle until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity, if
cannot obtain this regiment they plan is for FOLFIRINOX
He was very high risk of bleeding out so they took a biopsy of his lungs to confirm the diagnosis.
It is Pancreatic adenocarcinoma : ICD10-CM C25.9, Discharge DX
