Oseophageal and stomach tumour

Less than one minute read time.

My wife is 74 and diagnosed with a tumour at the junction of the osophagus and stomach which looks like a complete gastrectomy in the near future but before that, because biopsies are coming back negative positive, she will need an ultrasound endoscopy.

Anybody of that age out there had a complete gastrectomy and what was your recovery and onward lifestyle like.

Kind regards.
