Folfirinox is a very agressive chemo. I couldn't stand it (lost 20lbs in 3 weeks... and they changed it to Gemcitabine.
Was he prescribed some Creon ? It helped me a lot to stop loosing weight. You should talk to his oncologist.
All the best!

Thanks, I hope things are going better for you. He is on Zenpep enzymes 40,000u 3 w/meals 1 w/snacks right now. Increase has helped with other issues, but not the weight yet.
