New stage 4 diagnosis for my wife

Posted by uni2025 @uni2025, Jul 3, 2025

We are in the very unfortunate position to be getting this news for my wife within the last 3 weeks. As for everybody, absolutely heartbreaking. Only 52 and in previous excellent health this has taken my happy love to someone who is in horrible pain and depression..
She’s already had 4 endoscopies a bile duct stent a port installed and her first round of chemo.. all in the last 3 weeks..
We are just working through weight loss and abdominal pain.. and the feeling of helplessness .. any suggestions for pain meds - we have the oxy but she has constipation with that. Suggestions for calories that are easy to digest? Very tired all the time too.. Unbearable sadness these days..

Boost is better tasting than Ensure. Walmart sells a Premier Protein powder that we mix in 2% milk, and I drink a glass of that every day since July 2022. Sometimes favorite foods taste weird and months later they are okay. Just try to eat a little of what tastes good. I unfortunately gained weight on gemcitabine & abraxane. I was okay with a loss but that was not for me. 🙁 but hey, I am alive & moving around so it is not a bad thing 🙂
