Hi,
My husband was diagnosed with stage IV pancreatic cancer two months ago. Like so many others, he was just living a normal life when his doctor ordered a CT scan. His stomach was bothering him and all lab results were normal. We never suspected anything like this. He wasn’t even sick. He has a 10cm tumor in the body and tail of his pancreas with several smaller lesions in his liver. He started his first cycle of Folfirinox 13 days ago and round two is tomorrow morning. I feel hopeful most of the time, and terrified some of the time. I’m hoping to hear from more caregivers about how they’re coping. I’ve been a registered nurse for many years, but always in labor and delivery. Everything I know about oncology I’ve learned in the past few weeks.
