Hi,

Never posted like this before. My husband has Pancreatic Cancer, it is inoperable as had moved into the duct and main artery. He had a stent fitted at year in the bile duct and started chemotherapy in June. He had a break over Christmas,  then since new year when he restarted he hasn't been great. He stopped for  break in February as he was unwell. He was taken into hospital and treated for jaundice and and infection.  New stent was fitted and he was pumped with fluids and allowed home. After a few good days at home he started getting lots of back and side pain again, could get more than 1 or 2hrs sleep and his appetite dropped. Symptom control team were called in and today we have seen his oncologist. He has been signed off of chemo for 4 more weeks and will revisit. The Dr said to me that it's important we make him comfortable at home, although the scans show a stable tumor, his deteriorating health and his blood markers show progression nd that he expects that things will get harder from here. Does this mean that I should expect him to be able to continue chemo? Am I preparing myself for end stage Cancer? Why do I always feel ill I come out of these appointments with more questions than answers! My husband is under the impression he will be fine nd will.be able to continue treatment in a few weeks, I'm not so sure. Am I being pessimistic? Can anyone shed any light or offer advice?

Thanks 

Jodie
