Hi beachdog, thanks for your thoughts and prayers, they are so appreciated. My husband’s tumor is in the tail and body of his pancreas. It was already 10cm when it was discovered and he had no symptoms other than vague abdominal pain. He also has several smaller lesions on his liver making it stage IV. He had his second round of Folfirinox today and oxalyplaten is included in the cocktail. A liver lesion was biopsied for genetic testing, but we haven’t received the results yet. Most doctors we’ve spoken to say he’s not a candidate for surgery, but I wonder why at Stage 3 your wife was. I hope she’s doing well, that sounds like so much to overcome. We’re in San Francisco, so maybe another region of the country has different ideas. I’m a labor and delivery nurse and everything I know about oncology I’ve learned in the last eight weeks. I’m not sure what I’m looking for on this platform other than hearing how others navigate this difficult course. I have hope for my husband because he’s otherwise healthy. He works as a residential building contractor and we had to stop Home Depot on our way home from the six hour infusion treatment this afternoon. We try to stay positive, we’re surrounded by our kids, a beautiful family and so much to look forward to.
