gamaryanne. Thank you. Agree sunshine, fresh air and walking are all good for keeping your spirits up. I mentioned that I was embarking on 8 cycles of chemo (oxaliplatin, irinotecan and 5Fu) followed by 28 rounds of radiation. Was wondering if you had any tips and advice that would help me get through. If I recall you had a similar regimen. Any advice from your experience would be appreciated. Regard Steve

I think i was so shocked after 30+ years of good health that a 6.45 hrs op was horrifying--but i'm even mire shocked by what you are enduring. God bless or whatever works for you 😘🌹

Hello,
My regimen was different. 12 rounds fulfurinox, Y90, 2 more rounds of folfuri(without the ox) than the pancreadectomy/spleenectomy. I have not taken large doses of radiation treatment, other than all of these scans. My last surgery was liver resection at end of February. Do everything you can to get through the big F-it’s tough but it works
