Hi Sayuri or Amy, In my 2nd round of chemo I had Gemzar 3 hours a day in the hospital one day a week for 9 weeks. It sure beat the first go around of 5fu chemo for 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for 5 weeks non-stop. I had a port in my chest attached to a pump which I carried around my neck. They would come out to the house once a week to change the cartridge of chemo. It was devastating to say the least. Can your husband have surgery if the tumor shrinks? My surgery was on November 3, 2000. They removed 40% of my pancreas, my entire spleen, a slice of my left kidney, and 5 lymph nodes. The cancer spread to just the first lymph node. Hang in there, and stay tough for your husband.

After a month or 2 of being chaperoned my wife and I would go out together but we had to double date for just a couple of dates. Then we finally would go out alone...however it would be to the movies where the balcony seats are reserved. So I go to the box office buy 2 tickets. I go back to the parking lot, and give her one ticket. She would go in first, I would go in 5 minutes later, and sit next to her like we never knew each other. When the movie was over she went one way and I went the other way. We met in the parking lot. While we were holding hands under the table at the restaurant I could feel her writing in the palm of my hand with her finger..."I love you." I looked at her and I said me too. We hadn't even kissed yet, but when I finally kissed her she said..."what took you so long?" I said "I thought I was doing the right thing by not rushing."

Hello Sayuri, Are you from Thailand? I ask only because I believe your name is a Thai name. My wife is from Thailand...we met in Bangkok when I was stationed there in the Army 1967. We have been married now nearly 49 years this coming October. Boy it took me a long time to convince her to go out with me, and when we did we always had a chaperone. In any case welcome to WhatNext, a great website where you can find someone who is on the same cancer journey as your spouse, (?). I myself am a 15 year+ pancreatic cancer survivor, (stage IV). So you see this disease can be beat. I would say your spouse has age on his side. I was 56 when diagnosed, and am now 71. Never let him give up hope. He has to fight, with a passion, this disease, and everything it tries to do to him. If not then he is letting this horrible disease control his life. There were many times that I wanted to quit, but I refused to give in...I had 24/7 chemo for 5 weeks, and radiation 5 days a week for the same 5 weeks as 24/7 chemo. Is he on chemo and radiation? My best to you and your spouse.
