Thank you for all your information, very helpful. My husband turned 71 two days after being released from hospital for the Whipple. His first treatment left him so bad, that they did reduce to 80%. Now I wonder what they can lower or take away for #8, without compromising the goal. We will be talking to Dr this week to review everything. I pray that all is well with you and we all can find peace on this journey. Thanks❤️

We did meet w/Dr and she has postponed any treatment for one month to see if my husband can get some strength and weight back. Scans came back clear. CEA numbers were good. CA-19 went from 40 in Mar. to 53 in July. We know she would prefer to finish all 12 rounds, so we will see what she feels is best based on new bloodwork and appt on 8/21.
We are concerned with constant diarrhea and the rise in CA-19. Did you have similar things happening during chemo?
I hope things are going better for you. Thank you.
