@jimcaskowski Hi and welcome to Mayo Connect. What chemo is your husband taking? What side effects is he experiencing?

@tomrennie
He's had 5 rounds of abraxane & Gemzar & has been experiencing joint pain, fatigue and the worst part are his terrible mouth sores. He's in a lot of pain & has lost almost 20 pounds, These past few days, he sleeps all day & won't eat saying it's too difficult.
He's scheduled for Whipple 5/21 & I'm concerned because I don't think he's emotionally or physically ready for this.
We will see his surgeon tomorrow to reevaluate and ask more questions.
If anyone can suggest questions we should bring up, I'd appreciate the input.
