Hello @fatherjonz and welcome to the Pancreatic Cancer support group on Mayo Connect. I'm glad that you found this forum. Connect is a great place to find encouragement and support. Your feeling of fear is certainly understandable, especially given your prior experience with chemo.

As you said, "My months with chemotherapy infusions were dreadful. Beat the heck out of me," I'm guessing that you have been on this cancer journey for a while now.

How long ago were you diagnosed?

Hello fatherjonz,
How did your chemo/radiation go? I hoped you fared well through it.
My husband had wanted me to get the type of insurance that would allow me to go to Mayo Clinic in Arizona, but I declined since it was somewhat expensive and I'm also responsible for paying the medical insurance of my adult children who are still in college.
I have never heard of Capesitebine before so I looked it up and saw that its used for breast, stomach, and other type of cancers, but I didn't see pancreatic cancer listed. It does have a very good success rate of 77+% for the type of cancers that were listed so it has peaked my curiosity especially since it comes from Mayo Clinic; a facility held in high regard for innovative treatments I believe. I'm about to start chemo/radiation treatment for reoccurrence that metastasized to my liver, and also some nodules are seen in my stomach.
Please let me know, if you have that information, why your dr chose Capesitebine. Thank you.
