After my laproscopy which found nothing, they want to have a surgery to remove my whole stomach. However at the moment my meal intake humongous I am eating 4 plus meals a day. And non of the cancer signs and symptoms are showing is this normal
Some positive news there is no spread. I was eating as normal and had larger potions before diagnosis, I come from Italian family, we don’t do small! I just went off of cofffee. My symptoms were heartburn & fatigue.
i believe depending on where the cancer is in the stomach depends on a total or partial gastrectomy.
Mine was higher up and 2cms so total gastrectomy was my only option.
it is all a lot to process. What are you wanting to do?
I had cancer as a child and had my kidney removed - wouldn’t be here if I hadn’t. I went on to have 2 children. When stomach cancer was diagnosed and seeing how aggressive it was I was scared of not having a stomach but more scared of leaving my children, husband & family. My odds were not high but I have been told last week I am in remission.
Have you meet the specialist team, keep talking with them.
Yes, depending on the tumour location it’s quite normal to have no symptoms with stage three stomach cancer. I guess it’s lucky they’ve discovered it before the symptoms started. (Didn’t you say somewhere you were investigating h. pylori, so there were some symptoms?)
