Rick1970

I am so happy for you guys in every way. I hope you have a magical trip, Chris

Sorry to read about you sister & husband having an auto accident!
Hope they'll be ok!

Thank you Rick1970 for your kind words. My dad was very much at peace with his life when this picture was taken and I find comfort in knowing that he is now living peacefully with the Lord. As I said at his memorial service, "Even though this is the saddest day of my life, I know it is the happiest day of his - because he is living cancer free and pain free and rejoicing with the Lord." But I do still miss him terribly. Best of luck with you and your journey. Stay positive and give your worries to God. I will keep you in my prayers.

Hi Rick,

My name is Jennifer and I read through your profile last night. I am sorry to hear about your wife. It sounds like you are stepping through this journey with her, side by side. I am praying for you and your family.

My mother was diagnosed with PC in April and we are waiting for chemo treatments to start next Thursday. I've been doing a lot of research on her chemo cocktail of FOLFIRINOX. I understand that all side effects are different for different people but I am wondering if you could share more of your experiences. I know that it is not going to be a walk in the park, but I feel if I am more prepared for what she will go through, I will be a better help. Please tell me all that you are willing, the good and the bad.

I am definitely going to follow your lead and track all of her side effects, etc. I am a project manager, so I am familiar with the benefits of recording everything.

I also read your post about Minnelide. Have you had any further experience with it?

Thank you for all of your time. I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Take care,
Jennifer

Praying with you and for you both! 11 months cancer free...taking every moment as a gift!

Husband just finished 6 months of Folforinox on 3/17. Strength is returning, activity level increasing, appetite good. Complaining of muscle spasm in upper back? Hopefully just pulled muscle.... Revisit for f/u scans on 4/18.

Thank you Rick, I will ask for the ondansetron, as the prochlorperazine made her more nauseous, and scared to eat anything.

Dear Rick 1970 - I am about the same age as your loved one, but was disgnosed in April 2012. Have since then been through quite a lot, so if you or she have questions, we might well able to provide some answers or advice. Please don't hesitate to ask us. With best regards, JMS
