My sister was diagnosed yesterday and I’ve joined the forum for information and support.
Welcome to our group! Though not somewhere you wanted to join! But there are lots of people who will support you and your sister through this.
Once you have a clear diagnosis and treatment plan it gets easier. I was diagnosed seven years ago and had chemo and a partial gastrectomy. I now live a normal life something I would not have believed it was possible!
Do you know the stage of cancer? As that will enable the MDT to decide on the treatment.
Do post questions and someone will offer advice and help?

Hi Jac!
Thanks for your message!
I’m really pleased to hear you’re living a normal life.
The cancer is stage 3 and I believe the plan is chemotherapy but I’ll update once I know more.
