Hello

I have seen only a few here who has the same type of stomach cancer as we do.. but I have not encountered anyone yet that had undergone surgery. Hopefully we can be one of the first. 
Good luck in your treatment. 

So my journey continues 

Update after my scan this week Dec 2023

The results from the scan show that the  CAPOX and Herceptin treatment is working . The thickening of my stomach lining is thinning . TBH I was prepared for 2 options: 

Option 1 1st the treatment  is not working , 

Option 2  showing stability 

I really wasn't prepared for a 3rd Option that the thickening was thinning . 

So based on the results I am continuing the treatment and will then get a further scan in March once the chemo cycle .

So the journey down my river continues and I am now making a new bucket list for the next 3 month

Take care everyone and all the best

Christine

How are things going for you now? 

My family member completed reduced dose of chemo folfax over the summer, cancer has not spread but surgeon consultant today informed her she is too frail for surgery   linitis plastica she has no pain but 2 teaspoons of dinner and she is full.  So difficult to watch this. 

I am doing well .completed 5 cycles of capox in February and since then I have continued with a targeted therapy herceptin.  I get 3 monthly scans to see if things remain stable .  My cancer has always been inoperable so no chance of removing I am taking each day as a blessing 

Sending love to you and your family member
