I am the spouse of a pancreatic cancer victim. We found out he has it on Dec. 15, 2022. He has had four Florfirinox chemo treatments and 7 rounds of Abraxane and Gemcitabine chemo treatments (sp??). He is stage 4 with metastasis to the liver. We are at the Mayo clinic. he also has Peripheral Artery Disease, but has never smoked or had a weight problem.

@jschuck, you're in good hands at Mayo Clinic, especially since your husband is dealing with cancer and a heart condition. The multi-disciplinary approach helps. Mayo Clinic offers expertise in addressing heart problems (called cardio-oncology). The Cardio-Oncology Clinic (https://www.mayoclinic.org/departments-centers/cardio-oncology-clinic/overview/ovc-20442193) evaluates people prior to cancer treatment and patients who have experienced side effects due their treatment.
