Cancer has spread/Metastasized
Oh No
Learned I had pancreatic cancer when routine blood tests showed my values were off. After several scopes and an operation, I was told my cancer had spread from my pancreas to my liver. I couldn't get a whipple.
Chemotherapy
Drug or Chemo Therapy
I just began chemo. My first week after. I have little or no appetite and food makes me feel sick. I would love to hear ideas about what to eat, recipes, etc. And any other thoughts on chemo.
