I met an old friend at the oncology clinic 2 days before xmas last year I asked what are you doing here she said i have just been told i have lung cancer but that it is cureable with radiation and a short dose of chemotherapy they started after xmas she had no problems with chemo ate like a horse after radiation she was admitted back to hospital with dehydration then in and out of hospital regularly we spoke on phone regularly to see how each other was going i was too sick from chemo to visit and i had continual colds so had to stay away 2 weeks ago her husband rang me and said she was in icu she couldnt breathe properly and passed away thursday evening I cant understand how they could say we can cure you and this happens family and friends heartbroken as i am also.

The chemotherapy was stopped because of constant high temperatures it went to 41 i was disorientated and i was getting fluid in my lungs and elsewhere so my oncologist said it was too risky to continue the treatment.I see her every couple of months unless something goes wrong I have a wonderful gp who monitors me regularly my tumor count is very good so far last count it was low still ,am not sure about the different emphasis on adenocarcinoma and endocrine varieties i have adenocarcinoma the weight i have put on has gone to my face,but not the body i am feeling well but it fluctuates,sorry i cant help you anymore I am glad chemo was stopped so is my family i had the heater on constantly I was cold all the time and out of breath hope this helps but we are all different,so good luck in youre battle with this illness. kj

I am 10 months past whipple finished chemotherapy in march had 13 sessions couldnt get the other 5 sessions too ill.had same gemcitabine but everyone is different,wish you well in the treatment,I drank litres of water to flush chemo quickly I was not very hungry very tired but enjoyed weet bix,dont hesitate to ask any questions if you have any but now fatigue is gone kj

kj

I didnt get through all the sessions of chemo 6 short of the 18 treatments.I got pretty crook the oncologist cancelled the rest I then had a fall and fractured kneecap I have just recovered from that,finally the fatigue has gone hooray am starting to feel good pain is still there after surgery but most days i can manage life is good kj

kj

Deepest Sympathy Kristella my thoughts are with you. kj

Smiler I was very sorry to read that you still have the pain after surgery I had whipple 9 months ago and still have the pain so i know how much you are suffering,but i am disgusted that the doctor spoke like that to you,my surgeon says that it can happen after that surgery unfortunately,and my oncologist agreed.I got through 13 sessions of chemo,but i developed fluid in the lungs and couldnt finish the chemo was just getting over fatigue had a fall last week and fractured my kneecap am in a zimmerman splint fingers crossed i dont need surgery,I hope pain settles for you, best wishes hopefully in time it improves for you if you have any questions dont hesitate to ask kj

Margro Well done i am 8 months after whipple you are giving me something to aim for i have 2 cycles of chemotherapy to go am sitting here fatigued so its good to read of youre fight kj
