Newly diagnosed with pancreatic cancer

Hii I have pancreatic cancer and will be starting chemo next weekend. I’m not sure what expect they told me that I would have a pick line and it takes 46 hours to go through. I have to have 12 sessions. Has anyone else had this type of chemo that could help me.
