been given a diagnosis of terminal stomach cancer and being given palliative chemo starting next week, any recommendations as what to take with me for the chemo? how long it can last etc 

  • Hi

    I am so sorry that you find yourself here. I don't have any experience of stomach cancer as I previously had leukaemia. I am hoping that replying to your post will bump it back to the top of the posts and someone with more experience will answer soon.

    I had chemo in the past and it actually was OK whilst I was having it. I would take some magazines or a book to pass the time as things can often take longer than expected. Good luck and I hope it goes as well as it can.
