Hi all this is my first post i am Steve 68yo male , but to be brief i have just been diagnosed with adenocarcinoma in my stomach which has also spread to my peritoneum .its now 2 months since i presented symptoms to my doctor who started the ball rolling but suspected a stomach ulcer which was correct . Unfortunately the scans etc also found this cancer. NOW thinking back i realise that i had had symptoms before i went to the doctors which i attributed to reflux and indigestion which i had had for years but thanks to the ulcer it has now been picked up. i have been told the surgery is not possible and it is incurable but treatable hopefully , however before treatment starts i have to have a stent fitted to open the pyloric as at the moment i can only manage to eat the thinnest of fluids . All this i have taken in yesterday July 3rd which was my 68th birthday so not the best birthday plus..however spent in hospital as well .however as yet i am being positive as i can , not just for me but for my family ..I don't know what the outcome will be so if anyone has gone though something similar to me i would interested to know what i could be facing ...many thanks ...Steve
