Hello. I have just finished nine chemo treatments and am prepping for the whipple on 4/24. Everyone that I have spoken with has had a different experience. For me, the chemo side effects became slightly worse with each treatment. It is nice not to have any before the surgery. I found it helpful to reach out to pancreatic survivors and hear their story. I have also found it very helpful to be in the moment as much as possible. I think my wife has had a harder time than me. She has been an angel. Best of luck to you all!

Welcome, and bey wishes to you both on this journey. There are lots of us here who have experienced chemo, and each have our own story. I would encourage your husband to speak with the chemo nurses about any (and I mean any) concern, side effects or anything “new” - they often have tips to help deal with them, know what is significant and will advise dr accordingly. Try to rest, eat healthy, remain positive - attitude helps a lot!. It is not easy, but for me, it was worth it to buy time with my family. I had Stage 3, diagnosed Jan 2021. Whipple surgery followed by 12 folfirinox treatments. So far, so good more than 2 years later. You can do this!
