Laparoscopy update

Hi. I am sorry to hear your news but it’s good that the tumour was smaller than anticipated.  Hopefully the stent and chemo will help your situation. I know it’s difficult but try and stay positive and look after yourself. Keep in touch.

Take care

Hi. I am also sorry you got that news but please don’t give up hope yet, despite what the doctors have said. There are so many people on here who have been given similar news and are still around for a long time after!

My husband was diagnosed with stage 4 stomach cancer at Christmas and laparoscopy in Feb confirmed it had spread with spots in peritoneum. He is on palliative care and has 5 rounds of chemo which he is coped with reasonably well. He has lost a lot of weight but still manages to eat small amounts and is mobile and fairly well considering. Initially at start of year we weren’t even sure if he’d still be here now so this is all positive. 

He has results of latest scan next week but we’re remaining positive that every day he is here is still a day he could beat it as anything is possible.  
I wish you the best of luck for you chemo and please do keep us updated, I find this site very helpful personally.

I read your last post message and wanted to say that  you are important and your replies to this group  are a source of support. Please keep in there and know that we are thinking of you.
