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

  • Hi, sorry to hear of your diagnosis… I had stage 4 signet ring, with no further spread 3 years ago… I had a gastrectomy… and 8 rounds of FLOT.. 

    I do hope someone can get back to you with the same diagnosis as you…

    Take care

  • 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.
