They said it would happen, but I didn't give it much thought. The Gemzar surely does cause profound fatique. Yesterday I was hardly able to move, and today I was only able to sit on my front porch and walk the driveway for a short while, then napped.
I have also had terrible constipation. I am now taking two doses of MOM daily and eating two servings of fresh fruit to stay regular.
The fatique has made me feel a little glum, too. I hope that at the next dose of Gemzar that these symptoms do not worsen, and that I "get use" to them.
We heard from MUSC today and I have an appointment for the ERCP on January 2nd. This should take care of the leaking psuedocyst in the pancreas that is causing the drainage intomy abdomen. Once we have confirmed that the drainage catheter can be removed (Hurrah!).

Mack,
There's not a day that goes by that Shorty and I don't pray for you and your family. I hope you know that we're here for you in anything we can do. Don't be afraid to ask.
May God extend His healing hands upon you and give you the strength and courage to tackle each day head on. Keep your heart focused on Him and remain strong in the faith that He has a plan for you. We pray that through it all you can be a witness to others of His unfailing love for us all.
