Hi Phil,
I am 66 and was diagnosed in August 2022 with stage 1b pancreatic cancer after a distal pancreatectomy in July. I have had five Folferinox treatments every two weeks, and the doctor gave me an extra week off after number 3 and number 5. I had diarrhea that was controlled by OTC meds and fatigue as well, plus neuropathy, nausea and GERD. Did you find that side effects got worse after each subsequent cycle? Were you on Folferinox? Thanks and best wishes.

I just finished chemo 7 of 12.
I had a month break due to diarrhea and dehydration. Feeling better now and back on schedule. The Dr. Eliminated the on of four medications that was giving me problems.
Best if luck.
