Hi Clo,this is such a scary time for you,and I really hope they can help your hubby while he's in hospital.One thing that helped me was taking Gavascon before I ate.Speak to your dr and tell him you want to know everything,whether it be good or bad it is worse not knowing because then the imagination takes over. Be strong,my prayers are with both of you. margro...i do know how you feel,i was diagnosed 3yrs ago with stge 3 pancreatic cancer
