Firstly I like to say I’m sorry you all have found a need to join this forum.
I am writing on behalf of my sister as she hasn’t the energy or brain power right now to join.
she was very unexpectedly diagnosed with stomach and oesophagus cancer four weeks ago. since the diagnose Life has been a rollercoaster for her and the family. She has gone through various tests x-rays etc and was told she has a fast growing tumour.
unfortunately her second dose of chemo was cancelled this week due to her ALT levels going in the wrong direction, which is quite alarming and also very confusing. so here we are on this journey with you all. we are hoping to find comfort and hope by joining this forum.
thank you for reading this.
Hi Praying
I'm Daisy53 one of the Community Champions on the online community. I'm sorry to hear about your sister. I've noticed that you have joined the stomach cancer forum, while you can continue to post there you might also find it useful to join the Family and Friends forum where you can also get support from family members whose loved ones are going through a cancer journey.
Wishing you and your sister the best of luck with what's ahead.
Best wishes
Daisy53
