My husband was diagnosed Jan of this year. He completed 12 rounds of folfirinox but the tumors in his stomach grew - the tumor on his pancreas stayed the same. He is retired military - he was so strong and solid muscle. Now he is just bones. I can literally feel all his bones - it completely breaks my heart and soul. We have a 17 year old son who is trying to stay strong for his dad. We are still waiting to receive the daraxonrasib. Its been 4 weeks since it was ordered. Does your husband have pancreatic cancer? what stage? Im so sorry you and your family are going thru this. Its horrible!!

@kmbori Yes, My husband was diagnosed in July 2024 . He had surgery and they removed the Body and Tail of the Pancreas and 20 lymph nodes . Cancer was in 14 of the lymph nodes. They also did x-rays of his lungs and then a biopsy and confirmed it was in his lungs also. He had so many complications from the Surgery ( Abscesses with tubes for 6 Months, a Collapsed Lung and Pneumonia. He never really recovered from the Surgery so the Oncologist would not put him on Chemo. She said it would kill him. Cancer is now in his stomach and most probably in his Liver. It has been a little over two years and like your Husband, my Husband was big and strong. He now looks like a skeleton with skin covering him. It has been so hard to watch all of this and my Sons are having a really hard time dealing with it. My husband has
coached them all in Baseball and Soccer and taught them how to ski. He has been a hugh part of their lives. Unfortunately, we are now down to weeks. He stopped eating and drinking 3 days ago and is now just sleeping. Just trying to keep him as comfortable as possible.
I really hope that the Chemo works for your Husband and that he is able to put the weight
back on. I will keep him in my prayers.
