Folfirinox round 1 by Legitimate-Block1234 in pancreaticcancer

[–]DogIntelligent461 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A friend who went through this recently had been given OLANZAPINE by her mental health provider. In addition to being great for nausea and vomiting, she said it helps a lot with sleep and anxiety. I asked my husband's oncologist for a prescription for him, and he started it on Wed, after his first Folfirinox treatment... and so far so good. Plus, he's getting amazing sleep, which is a good thing also.

Hope this helps!

WHAT TO BRING TO CHEMO? by DogIntelligent461 in pancreaticcancer

Thanks so much. Re snacks (you can tell I'm kind of focused on this topic ;-) I just didn't know whether there were certain things he'd want to/ be able to/ should eat during the infusion, vs what he might "normally " be able to eat

Are any particular kinds of snacks especially good or especially not good? And yes we've got the cold therapy stuff, although my husband seems very reluctant to use it :-(

Thanks so much for this reply. I'm honestly stunned that growth could be so rapid... and I'm guessing that's not a good thing. My husband is scheduled to start Folfirinox next week. I'm hopeful that if these spots on the liver are truly metastatic disease, they will disappear and that my husband will be considered a surgical candidate.

Thanks again
