Hi good luck to you and your wife. I have just started Gemcitibine and abraxane only and reading about her struggles is worrying me because I'm supposed to go to Hawaii with my son and daughter and grandchildren in July. I have stage 4 after 3 years NED with surgery, 6 months chemo. Cancer is in lungs as well now. My after chemo symptoms are extremely sleepy and tired, weak feeling but no diarrhea yet. I sure can't imagine how much you both have gone through. I had forfirinox before I think with 5FU and oxalyplaten. I got very ill with bronchitis, pneumonia, diarrhea but luckily my daughter is a physician at UCLA (internal medicine and geriatric ) medicine so I didn't have to go to hospital. I will speak to my doctor if I get more sick. Do you know it effects are cumulative? Thanks and Good Luck leigh
