The chemo is horrible. It compounds—the first round is the easiest.
When my wife was going through it, the answer was: Calories. The key was to get as many calories as possible into her. They need the energy to make it through the rough days.
It’s a long haul, but people DO make it through. And…the treatments change and improve all the time.
Good luck to your friend.
Thanks. We've been friends since junior high days sitting in the trumpet section of the band. Today, he is a very good clinical psychologist. It's awful to see all of that great effort derailed with pancreatic cancer. We both agreed that he needs to set sights on the 50th high school class reunion next year. Have a stretch goal to maintain hope.
