Caz1990 and welcome to the Online Community. I just dropped by and noticed you've not had a reply to your post as yet. I myself have a different type of cancer so I'm sorry I can't offer any experiences to compare. Hopefully the members here will be along soon to answer.
It’s always helpful to others if you write a little something (or a lot) about yourself and your journey to date. You can enter it into your profile (click on your username and select “Profile”) It’s helpful to other members with a similar diagnosis who can then hopefully answer your questions. It also means that you don't have to keep writing the same thing over and over. You can amend or update it at any time.

Hi Caz,
I had the same cancer, chemo and surgery. And I can say there is hope, very much so. There wasn’t much support for me as I was going through it other than family, friends and forums like this one.
I’ve learnt a great deal and that combined with experience and nutrition has allowed me to make a full recovery. So I now help others and have written a book you may find helpful StomachFreeLife.com
Message me if you’d like to chat.
