Hello
My friend was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer December, they can't operate because of where it is placed, she has had chemo 6 sessions then a break and now she is undergoing the next 6, she is not well at all with the chemo, sickness, anxiety and depression, she has to have another scan next week, we are just hoping the chemo has reduced the tumor, but she is really suffering, our hopes and prayers go out to her, and all who are suffering with this is a dreadful illness,

There are several different combinations of chemotherapy that they can use for pancreatic cancer. They usually try what they think will be the most effective with the fewest side effects first. They watch it for a while and will definitely change it if she isn't tolerating it well. So I wouldn't give up hope for a good treatment yet.
All the best to you and your friend for relief from the pain and comfort in her treatment.
Best wishes Linda
I love the picture of your cat he/she looks adorable, I have two cats, can't get enough of them, if they would accept other cats we would have more.
Thank you for your reply, my friend has no appetite either, but she does eat, because she know she has to keep strong for the treatment, just the ant-sickness tablets, really make her very tired, she struggles to keep wake.. Just hope the Chemo works for her, all our fingers are crossed, for all suffering this dreadful disease.
Regards and Best wishes
Linda
