28 year old male just diagnosed with stomach cancer

It is shocking and will take time to digest.I believe it looks like an early stage but the proper diagnosis will be after biopsy and CT/ pet scan.There are many treatments available and you can be cured.Please don't goggle it, stay positive and stay around positive people.I am here if you need to chat or any support.

Sending you my love and strength 

Hi

What a shock for you! But early stage stomach cancer is treatable.  I had stomach cancer four years ago and now lead a normal life!  I had chemo and a partial gastrectomy.   There are a number of positives that you should hold on to.. the fact it was found early and you are young so there will be more options than if you are old and not fit for surgery.

The medical team will now lots of tests..a laparoscopy probably and CT scans to gather the information they need to determine the treatment plan.

Do use this group there are lots of really lovely people who will help and support you through the treatment!

I wrote a Blog which you can read if you click on my name! 
Good luck!

Hi Ghaz, thank you for your message. I really do hope for a smooth recovery. I hope it is early stage, just waiting to do a CT scan. Thanks a lot . I’ll avoid google as much as I can . I hope you are well

Hey Jac, I really do hope it is early. Just waiting to do a CT scan. Thank you for sharing your positive testimony, glad to hear you are doing well! 

Hi young man

I too have stomach cancer  but am 75. I think they have caught it quite early as it didn’t show in your endoscopy if this is the case then there are various treatments that can give you a full recovery. I’m sure you will receive replies from others in this group to support you. Do keep in touch through this Chanel to let us know what treatment your oncologist suggests for you. With best wishes x

Hey Loony,

Thanks for your response. I really do hope & pray that this is early, I don’t have the answers yet 

Sorry to hear it are going through the same thing. I pray that you get over this. 

i will for sure stay in touch  ! 

thanks

Hi, so sorry to hear about your diagnosis. I expect it was such a shock for you! It’s not nice when you find out, it will feel like a rollercoaster of emotions for you… Stay positive and get a list questions ready to speak to your medical team. Hopefully you won’t have to wait for your staging examination/results. I was stage 4 signet ring a year ago, had a full gastrectomy and chemo… 

Like someone else has mentioned don’t google about it as it’s depressing to read. There also plenty of places to go and chat to someone face to face if you like e.g Maggie centres etc.. Good luck young man and stay in touch on this page… 

Michele. 

Thank you for the advice Michele. I hope & pray for a smooth outcome for you ! 

I also know one of my friend's sister, she is in 60 years had stomach cancer 13 years ago, still in remission.Keep your positivity and Pray xx

That’s amazing to hear. I hope & pray to be a success story too. Wishing the same for u all
