Wondering how your chemo went. My husband just started his chemo after Whipple. He is doing the FOLFIRINOX. He is extremely uncomfortable after 1.5 weeks and has lost a lot of weight throughout his illness. The anti nausea medication is not working. He will go in for his second treatment next week. He is on a every other week for 6 months frequency/regimen.

The discomfort could be post Whipple as much as Chemo. I did about 2-3 weeks post surgery and it lasted for a month or so. Drank a lot of bone broth to help with inflammation. Team recommended that I try Galvescon along with Zofran. It really helped. I also had my Folirinox reduced to 75% and things turned around slowly. I will think of you and hope things improve. eating small meals all day is so much better than 3 larger. Saltines and peanut butter is good for stomach and good protein. let us know how it improves. Oh, I get Atropine and dexamethezone with each Chemo session....really helps as well.
