Side effects after completing Chemotherapy

It has been just over 2 years since I completed my folfirinox treatments. Neuropathy worsened for about 6 months after then remained stable. It is considered permanent at this point. Like everything else that has changed in my life since being diagnosed, I have learned to adapt or adjust in some way. To me, these are all small prices to pay in exchange for life. My cancer recurred at Whipple surgery site and I am now on abraxane/Gemcitibine and waiting for a start date for radiation and another change in chemo (looks like about 2-3 weeks away). I will deal with whatever comes along if it buys me time with family. All the best to you!

Thank you for sharing your story. You seem like such a brave, strong person. May I ask how long your scans stayed clear after Whipple and Chemo? My husband has to do follow-up bloodwork at 6 weeks and another CT-scan at 12 weeks. How do you keep your life in balance and not constantly worry between re-checks? I wish you only positive days ahead, God bless.
