My father diag. w/ panc.cancer a couple months ago started chemo-Tri along with the tarceva pills. It will be almost 4 weeks now since he started treatment. I've heard of the nightmares and effects that come with the chemo and prepared myself for the nausea, itchy skin, peeling, burning, constipation, runs, pain, ect. Suprisingly enough..nothing. It's almost as if he feels better after taking the chemo. I'm not sure how to feel about this. Ofcoarse I am happy he is not suffering with these side effects..but...I wonder if the absent of these side effects are possibly because the chemo is working and making him better stopping growth or if we are just managing the pain with pain medication and the symptoms of No Symptoms are an indication of no effect or change in his condition. Anybody with some good results from chemo? I've never heard of chemo making anybody feel better! Is this possible? Any experiences or imput I would appreciate it. thank you for taking the time.
