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.
Paul
