Contact PANCAN.org for an information packet or any questions.  The Johns Hopkins Pancreatic cancer message board has a lot of info as well.  Just google them.  Good luck.

I had a lot of swelling in my ankles and feet.  The doctor prescribed some pills that are essentially a diareutic, not sure of the name but after a few days the swelling went down.  You go to the bathroom a lot but it does work.  The doctor will know what to prescribe.  It's no big deal.

Good luck.
