She was taking Creon. Started taking around her 8th folfironox cycle (she had 9 total) then continued after the radiation and surgery. Gag reflex prevented her from taking the capsules after surgery so she was mixing with applesauce. The doc kept telling her to increase dose because of diarrhea until finally she just stopped taking it altogether because we figured that if no amount is the correct amount, it wasn't working for her. Looking for other options because she can't go to the hospital for iv or feeding tube at this point.
