I was diagnosed with Signet Ring Cell Carcenoma five years ago. The treatment was chemotherapy and then surgery. The tumour was at the lower end of my stomach so it was a partial gastrectomy. I am not sure if it’s the same as your diagnosis. Others on this group have had Signet Ring Cell and had the same treatment. I did panic when I was told, as it’s a rare but aggressive cancer but…The chemo eradicated the cancer in my case and so it responded well to treatment. If I can help do message me or post on this group. Hope that helps!

Life is what happens when you are making other plans!
Hi, thanks for replying, my tumour is at the bottom of my stomach, the pylorus. A partial gastroscopy is planned after 4 rounds of FLOT and then more chemo. It was a shock because I hadn’t been told and it wasn’t explained to me, I saw it in a letter
You have helped me think differently to earlier in the day so thank you x
I was diagnosed in May 2021 with this type of tumour in the bottom half of my stomach. I had 4 cycles of flot followed by partial gastrectomy then another 4 cycles of flot. Treatment finished March 2022. My surgery was keyhole and I recovered very well. More or less back to normal. I have a bit of neuropathy in my hands and feet from the chemo but apart from that all is well and I am so thankful for the treatment that I received. You have got this!! Good luck with everything.
