Hello.

I know the majority of you might have had the Folfirinox "full" version or another type of chemo. But for those who received mFolfirinox, what were your experiences regarding side effects, loss of appetite, weight loss, or toxicity?

My father will receive adjuvant chemotherapy treatment in a clinic, admitted to the hospital (approximately one day every two weeks), instead of having the catheter (port).

As his daughter, I just want to be there for him and help him in any way I can.

Thank you.

My relative underwent Whipple surgery three weeks ago (ampullary cancer).

The pathological report revealed that 2 of the 8 lymph nodes had cancer, no perineural invasion and a mixed subtype (pancreatic and intestinal).

Has anyone had similar results? I'm losing hope :(

That's it. Of course then comes recovery + chemo based on the molecular biopsy of the ampullary tumour.

I'm scared and I got no one to talk about this (I mean I have friends and a brother but I think nobody understands the severity of this situation). So if you've been through something similar you can DM me. Thank you ❣️

Hello,

I am writing this because I am feeling very scared and lonely, and I still don’t know how to deal with my emotions.

Last month, my father, who is 57, started complaining about itching. Long story short, they found an 18 mm mass in the ampulla of Vater, and the biopsy says it is suspicious for malignancy.

I don’t have much more information. He had a stent procedure a few weeks ago, and the next step will probably be Whipple surgery followed by chemotherapy.

I am so scared. I can’t lose my dad. I am only 27, I have a 22-year-old brother, and my mum is a stay-at-home mother.

It breaks my heart, and for some reason, I feel like I am going to lose him.

I already go to therapy, but this situation is more than I can handle.
