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

I know you've got a lot on your plate, ma'am. But that folfirinox contains oxaliplatin which can cause neuropathy of the feet and the fingers. You might want to look into cold therapy to help prevent this during the infusion. I had 12 cylces of folfirinox and it has caused severe neuropathy to my feet and lower legs. I'm sorry, I don't have a link for the cold therapy.
