He refusing to use the cistaplatin with xelodo. Now my husband chest is swelling up on his right side. He’s saying that he’s whole chest is hurting him. I am beside myself on what to do next. He has also refused hospice. Any suggestions? Thanks

When You Dream About Your Parents, How Do They Look?

I lost my Dad (just a hair short of his 80th birthday) almost three years ago to pancreatic cancer.
A few months back, I had a dream about him that I loved. He looked about 40. He was wearing the white t-shirt and jeans he used to work in (he was a gardener), he had slicked down shiny black hair, and boy did he look athletic and full of beans. He was in a catcher’s crouch, warming up a men’s fast pitch softball pitcher. As I walked by, he flicked the ball back to the pitcher like it was effortless and shot me a big ol’ grin of pearly whites.

i went to the doctor and was told i have a heart murmur ( an ekg and my doctor told me this) plus inflammation of the lining of the lungs (x-ray).she said this may be why i feel the sharp pain. also twice i remember getting up in the middle of the night with the worse chest pain ever. it was all around the chest and upper back and it lasts for a few minutes.it especially hurts when i am laying down, and when i inhale/exhale too. i am scared ’cause it sounds like a symptom of pancreatic cancer. please help me with advice.or is anyone out there going thru the same thing? thanks.
