How's your health?

"stage 3 bordering 4" oh crap...not good, but not bad either.
Have your Drs. given you any indication of how the chemo may affect you?

Yes full info , besides fatigue which is bad , loss of appetite, weight loss , I’ve lost from Feb to June about 6 kg then once I hit around august I dropped another 14 kg to end of October so about just over 20 kg , more chemo means you may hold weight or drop each week , dry retching the day after chemo is nasty , stomach pain feels like you just got punched and winded 24/7 , need pain killers when I go out , hair loss , then as the end game starts to kick in you can loose bladder and bowl control , major weight loss , confusion can set in , and mine most likely the cancer will spread and attack the stomach and liver , the other nasty is chemo I take can give you blood clots in the heart and lungs , pretty much covers it

Oh bugger 426, you're having a very rough time of it with maybe worse to come.
But it's not hard to see you are a real Aussie battler and you're giving it everything you've got.
Hang in there 426 because yuh never know, there may just be something good and positive ahead for you around the next corner, but you gotta get to the next corner to see what it may be.

striving for life to keep carrying on is a bit of a conundrum - seeing we all come to an end

Depends on the quality of life and wether your ready to go or not

Jesus thats bloody heavy 426.

What hospital are you being treated at?
I was at Westmead then transferred to St George public...theyre stretched to the limit public health but the staff that have looked after me have been great and made it a bit easier....hope youre getting similar experience

small majority of cultures fear death , im on the side for celebrating it , its a passage of right ,every body earns it, by all means keep death at bay but don't fear it

The words in this song may be a help to someone needing a bit of a lift...
I get knocked down
But I get up again
Yuh never gonna keep me down.

Thanks , stage 3 bordering 4 , no surgery available just chemo to help stop the growth or slow it down , June was 6 to 18 months life span but with a fight could go past that time

Have you spoken with Dr Mittal?

I have / had PC, wrapped around it with the main artery stuck in the middle of the bear hug. 50 days in hospital the first time. They said dead in 18 months, but Dr Anubhuv Mattel said nope I gunna throw the sink at you. 12 rounds of chemo over 9 months, chemo Dr said what are we doing this for you’re fkd, go and live what’s left. I said we doing chemo and then the Whipple. Mittal said the chemo made it unwrap and lean out so he could snip it off at the bottom. Saved my life. I haven’t worked since due to the chemo side effects, which suck, but I’m alive.
If you have not spoken to doctor Mittal do so, that’s my advice.
Good luck.
PM me if ya want.

PS, Billy Rubin is a prick.

The Whipple is the largest op a person can have on the abdomen to save them from pancreatic cancer and Billy Ruben is a prick bcoz if he is high they can’t save your life.
