FIL has pancreatic cancer - Update - he has passed

[mickeyboat]

Thank you again for your support. I am sorry for all of you who have suffered a loss to PC. And I appreciate you sharing your experiences with me. It helps a lot.

My FIL tolerated the treatment well yesterday (fingers crossed). His doctor told him that he will probably start feeling fatigued in the next couple of days, and that he should really pay attention to when it happens so that he can plan for it with his next treatment. He is feeling no nausea this morning and is all worked up about taking care of the snow today (we are getting hammered) and about his new band saw which is supposed to be delivered.

He was given a Rx for Megase (?) which has really seemed to help his energy and appetite levels. He gained 4 lbs. in a week!

My interview went very well and I am cautiously optimistic that I will get a second one. Keep your fingers crossed.

Thanks again, all.

Denae

Megace is good stuff!

It sounds like you are seeking out support, which is important, too.

Take care of yourself as much as possible so that you can really be there for your family during this time.

My FIL passed away Sunday night. He died peacefully at home surrounded by many family members and friends who loved him. We are having a tough time but doing the best we can.

I'm sorry for your loss. I lost my mom to pancreatic cancer in 2006; it's a horrible disease. I will keep your family in my prayers.
