I don’t even know where to begin, I’m Kirsty age 45 and I was diagnosed with T4NXM1 stomach cancer in September 2024. My stomach perforated and ended up in A&E having surgery where they took biopsies and a week later was told I had cancer.
I started having symptoms of fullness and reflux in the June but just kept shrugging it off until it got to August when I was noticing water not going down very well, also noticed my Clothes where starting to get baggy. Took myself to the doctor who tested me for h pylori which came back positive.
They started me on a course of antibiotics and a 3 week follow up consultation, the antibiotics didn’t help very much. They then proceeded to prescribe me a second course but my stomach perforated before I got to start them.
I have had 5 rounds of folfox, 3 of those included immunotherapy but that had to be stopped as it caused issues with my kidneys resulting in a two week hospital stay with nephritis. I have a scan in two weeks time but feel so nervous to what it will show.
It's such a shock to the system. Here with you sending strength.
