HI, I was wondering if there is anyone on here with signet ring cell carcinoma of gastric origin stage 4. I have been told no surgery on palliative chemo for 6 months max
Hello,
Sorry to hear about your diagnosis.
My husband was diagnosed with stage 4 signet ring cell gastric cancer in Feb with lung and lymph mets.
He’s undergoing 6-8 rounds of chemo (Capox) and has had Herceptin added in now too.
He was also told that surgery won’t be an option, because of the spread.
He’s had a CT scan after his 3rd round to see how things are going and we’re waiting the results of that at the moment. We won’t be updated until June, which feels like a long wait!
Hope all goes well with your chemo.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
