Hi, we had my husband’s results yesterday with the GI nurse. He is 42 and never had any problems until this. She said the tumour is 4cm and has spread into the lymph nodes of stomach but they are saying it is inoperable. Liver, lungs and bone appear clear from ct but it’s the lymph nodes that seem to be the problem. He is having PET scan tomorrow. He is struggling to even have his drinks now so she mentioned a feeding tube but we haven’t heard back. I’m worried about him.
He asked how long he had and she said with chemo probably 18 months. We have a 9 year old son and just don’t know what to tell him. We’re in such shock and I just can’t believe they are saying that’s it! Does anyone understand why they can’t remove the lymph nodes? Thank you.
