My husband has been diagnosed w/ pancreatic cancer in the last couple of weeks and is going through staging now, and is getting a port installed for the anticipated chemo. It's weird to have plans for the summer not knowing if we'll be able to proceed, but he does not want to tell anyone about it. That may change after this staging is finished and he proceeds to whatever is next. We're in our mid-70s. Just taking things one day at a time. A bit tiring, though, dancing around the gorilla in the middle of our lives. 😳
I have already learned a lot from reading these posts and offer my thanks to those who share their experience so generously. 💕

Good luck and hang in there. Yes , one day at a time,

Whichever chemo regimen he gets, plan on being flexible with your plans. Reactions to chemo are all over the map; some people keep working. For others it's much more debilitating. Be prepared for a marathon then if it's less taxing you'll be relieved. Good luck and God bless.

We are in a similar situation but my husband has had the Whipple procedure and is recovering. What surprised me most is the exhaustion he suffers daily. Are you satisfied with the’care team’ you have?
