When my dh was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, the dr. prescribed
Prilosec. I believe that is the same as Nexium, but I could be wrong.
Now he is taking Omeprazole, which is the generic version, and way
cheaper. ask your dr. about it.

ps. the dr. was proven wrong, the diagnosis (basically a death
sentence) was in error and they now decided he has sarcoidosis of the
pancreas. so instead of cancer drugs, he takes prednisone – wish
they’d get a generic version of that!!
