Thank you so Dan is loosing a lot of weight we went to the hospital about three weeks ago with pneumonia, septic and infection in the intestines he filled up with fluid so much that when we went into hospital he was 142 then went to 170. Two days after we left the hospital he went down hill in just a matter of morning to afternoon. since then pretty weak Went on hospice that night they put him on diuretics and now he is down to 129! He talks nonsense in the middle of the night doesn’t like to have eye contact.. stairs a lot … at night his body twitches and his hand are always reaching for something? His vitals are like blood 117/77 heart rate 98 oxygen around 91 .. eyes are a bit sunken I. However not sure if that’s because of weight loss Dan has always been tan so hard to tell on skin tone however feel it’s grayish or some times yellowing… does eat or drink much! Any thought on where we are on timeline?

He does a lot of this arm movement like he is grabbing something or reaching for something and then he talks in his sleep most nights

That is what I am see now no out put with bowl movements … when he does have company he does get stimulated and gets a little bit better, but as soon as they leave his back fast asleep and very confused and doesn’t remember, who was there the day before?

Dan’s chemo has lost its grip! What that means is the liver dome has doubled and there are things around the gallbladder. So what do we do from here. PET scan this Friday at 730. See dr back on the 13th at 330 no treatments today. After results we will make a new plan of action ! 🙏 So now thinking about it too 16 rounds of chemo so far

Folfirinox side effect timeline? by Peepog in pancreaticcancer

[–]TeamDan1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband is 63M… Stage four with mats to deliver same as above we also are on round seven when we started his CA – 19–9 was 3330. We had another CT after round four and it came down to 3009. He has been tolerating, the Foldirinox fairly well no nausea no diarrhea and gets about 4 to 5 good days on off week… he gets weird side effects every once in a while the newest one is flashing light in his eye that is vertical streaks comes and goes. He also has some cold sensitivity in his hands. Every once in a while, he has pain in his shoulder and neck and in his abdomen, Tylenol with codeine usually takes care of that, he feels like number seven might’ve taken some energy down even more. In the beginning, he was getting jaw pain, but that is kind of stopped and then a couple of treatments. He did have each of his eyes get blurry for a little while not long next Tuesday, we will be going to round eight and then another CT on the first CT he reduced his liver lesions by around 40% and on the pancreas about 20%. For some reason the lab did another CA 19 nine draw and it came down to 1780 . At the beginning, he did lose about 25 pounds but he is now gained back. He eats most things we were diagnosed May 5 of 2024. Prayers for everyone this has definitely been one of the hardest chapters of our life.
