Hello,

 

My uncle is currently in hospital after being diagnosed with stage 4 stomach cancer. The consultant told me yesterday that he has diffuse gastric cancer and it is very aggressive. It has spread into the peritoneal cavity and spreading around his abdomen quickly. 

 Is diffuse gastric cancer the same as linitus plastica?

We are waitng for the MDT meeting next week. Can anyone offer any help or advice on this type of cancer?

  • Hi and welcome to the online community

    I'm very sorry to read that your uncle has been diagnosed with stomach cancer. I don't know the answer to your question so I'm going to recommend that you join the stomach cancer group where you can ask questions, share experiences and get support from others with this type of cancer.

    To join just click on the link I've created and then choose 'join this group' on the page that opens. You can then introduce yourself and post questions after selecting 'start a discussion' and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.
