Hello everyone,
My uncle has just had his MDT after being diagnosed with stage 4 diffused gastric cancer.
They believe it is primary stomach cancer that has spread to the peritoneal space with deposits there. He could potentially have colorectal cancer. They have said it is stage 4 and that no surgery is available.
My uncle does not want to know prognosis and we all agree that he shouldn’t. They have offered him chemotherapy to keep it at bay and make him as comfortable as possible for as long as possible.
does anyone else out there have any experience with this type of cancer? If so- any advice on what we should expect?
Hi
I don't have any experience with this type of cancer but noticed you hadn't had any responses yet.
If you type 'stage 4' into the search bar in this group you'll see quite a few posts from people who are at that stage, which you could read and respond to.
Wishing you and your uncle all the best
