I had a distal pancreatectomy last July for a cyst, and pathology found a adenocarcinoma. So I am stage 1b pancreatic cancer. Had four chemo sessions to date, and fatigue has been the most consistent side effect. However, I feel less and less fatigued in the week before the next treatment. I am 66, and I exercised moderately before the disease, and I think that helped so far in tolerating the Folferinox to a degree. But, right after treatment, there's lots of side effects for days until I start to recover some more.

I too had a distal pancreatectomy this month. Prior to that, I had chemo with the folfirinox. The side effects were really bad (diarrhea, vomitting,weakess). My heart goes out to you. It is a hard journey. I am waiting to see if I need more chemo after surgery.

i wish you the best my friend ..the side affects are worse than the disease be strong
