Re: HELP! Friend dx'd w/stage 4 pancreatic cancer
I'm so sorry to hear this. My thoughts are with you, your friend, and her family. I don't have any experience with any of the drugs except Taxol. I did relatively well on it. I did have mild neuropathy (used L-Glutamine and it got much better) and diarrhea. I think that I would opt to take it to prolong my life but that is a limited opinion since I don't know how the other drugs may affect her. I truly am sorry to hear this. I hope that she finds the peace of mind to make the decision that is right for her.
Linda
