[MOL] meds

["Rita Bennett" <rcbennett@gci.net>]

Recently my Mom was dx with mets to the lungs after her prime site was pancreas.  We were surprised it had

gone to the lungs instead of the liver.  I have looked up gemcitabine and the afftects are horrendous as she already

has N/V -diarrhea because of the malabsorption from the whipple.  She has not had chemo or rad to date as the doc

didn't suggest it.  Now we come to  20mons post op and it is metz'd.  I don't recommend she take the med as

the affects will affect her QOL.  She is weak, tired, in pain and is trying to make an informed decision...

Any info will be greatly appreciated..Thank you, Rita B.
