Had FOLFIRINOX pre Whipple surgery: Questions about chemo after

So sorry you've had this experience. My experience sounds very similiar to yours (clean after surgery) except that I am now receiving chemo at the 11th week after surgery. This is supposed to go for 6 months or for as long as I can tolerate it...a combination of Gemicitabine IV x 1 day and Capecitabine orally in a.m. & p.m. x 7 days with food. Good luck with your treatment.

My friend was diagnosed in July of 2021 with pancreatic cancer! Had Whipple and fulforinox for 6 months all for nothing! Tumor appeared on liver! Then gemcitibine for 3 months got pneumonia and had to be taken off it! She suffered through the entire journey and passed on august 2, 2023! From all the research I have done chemo should be done before they operate! Once they open you up, it spreads!
