Pancreatic Cancer Recurrence after Whipple

@katieliz Hi! My mom had platelets and RBC infusion fur to having to severe bleeding rather than just FOLFIRINOX causing it. What caused the bleeding is the hemorrhoids from severe diarrhea after 3rd round of chemo, and norovirus. She was on Eliquis for liver thrombosis which exacerbated this problem. Her levels are good now since they have platelets. Have they offered that to you?

P.s. I also come to read @stage4survivor ’s posts to induce a daily dose of positive reinforcement and hope.

@vp02 I also had low platelets and needed blood transfusion. Doc told me I had chemo induced colitis, which I got real crampy an had a lot of blood in stool. I am also on Elequis. So basically I think it’s the colitis to that sent me to hospital.
