My husband as been dealing with bile duct cancer starting in April. A long road, now that the Wipple was aborted, we came home with many more problems. He got a E Coli infection that was very bad on top of surgery. Two rounds of antibotics and finally IV and another 9 days of daily shots to get him over it. Then he started retaining fluid. They pumped out 7 litres of fluid, he lost 15 pounds! He is very weak and doesn't want to eat. Chemo was posponed due to his illness. Getting ready to start again Dec 30. What can I do to help him get strong enough to start chemo again?

My husband has bile duct cancer and has had nothing but infection , sepsis twice , pneumonia, necrotizing pancreatitis for the last 3 months .He finally started chemo 2 weeks ago .I can't imagine him getting the Whipple surgery after 3 months of chemo .He is 75 and finally gained some weight and strength back after all the hospital stays .God bless and stay in touch .Tracy , tracykvies01@gmail.com.
