Re: Extreme Exhaustion
Hi Vickif, I am sorry to hear that you are feeling like progress is minimal. Has your husband had his liver biopsy yet? Or, has he had a date for this? I hope that this does take place as there seems to have been a wait for him to start his chemo. Has he seen an oncologist yet? Please do give us a c...

Re: My husband Dan
Hi Fernack, So sorry to read all of this - the weight loss is of course a concern. Its understandable that the oncologist would be thinking about therapeutic benefit versus quality of life - its a difficult decision to make, but having such severe side effects is also very debilitating. Perhaps as E...

Re: Extreme Exhaustion
Hi Vickif, Thank you for your post, and sorry that you have found yourself on these forums. I am sorry to hear that your husband was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer on his birthday - no time is a good time to get this diagnosis, but it seems particularly cruel for this to have happened on his birth...

Re: pancreatic cancer
Hi there, Welcome to the forums, but of course, not a place you wish to be. I am so sorry to hear about your husband - can I ask, is he being regularly followed up by anyone at all? Oncologist? Gp? Is he on any treatment, such as chemotherapy? Has he had a scan to confirm the presence of the fluid? ...

Re: Any information would help
Hi Week 20, A few things might be helpful here. - Increase fluid intake - water in particular. This will hydrate the bowel and hopefully, help the movement of the bowel. - Increase natural fibre - fruit, vegetables, wholegrain. A small handful of all bran on your cereal is a really good help to regu...

Re: CBD oil - experience
Hi There week 20, Thanks for your post. Sometimes, things like this can interact with chemotherapy. The best thing to do is to discuss this with your oncologist in order to be sure there is no adverse harm in taking them. They will be best placed to let you know if its OK to continue it with the che...
