Stage 4 Gastric Cancer

Sorry I can’t advise, just letting you know I’m thinking of you and your dad, hopefully someone will be able to offer you some support on this forum 

Sorry to hear about your dad , my diagnosis in july is identical stage 4 adenocarcinoma  with peretonial  nodes..i was started on xenox also known as oxaliplatin,  with 2 twice a day capecitabine  tablets i was also started on nivalumab  immunotherapy . My chemo tablets were cut back and the infusions  were stopped after 4 rounds  because of stomach issues.but the scans did show the cancer had responded and shrunk.. i am now reliant on the immunotherapy.. I was told the always allow for reactions and can cut and tailor doses to the individual as everyone is different, I did ask my oncologist the same question you are asking and he said the plan is to kill the cancer not the patient and no doubt they will monitor closely as the have more treatments in their arsenal. Mine was cut because my oncologist believed that it could be affecting my stomach nerves and the gi specialist fitted another stent to reinforce the original....I hope this helps ..

So sorry to hear about your dad. I’m sure the reduced amount will help too or they wouldn’t offer it to him. He needs to speak to his medical team re pain in his groin. It is worth checking out. Take care x

Your comment helps me too.. Wish you all the best with your treatment. x
