MY DAD WAS DIAGNOSED WITH STOMACH CANCER IN 2000--HE HAD PART OF HIS STOMACH REMOVED(THE DR. SAID HE GOT IT ALL AND CLASSED IS A STAGE 2 BECAUSE IT HAD INVADED OUTSIDE WALL WHICH HE "SCRAPED OFF" MY DAD ENDURED CHEMO AND RADIATION AND DID GREAT--HE MAYBE ONLY LOSS 2 POUNDS-THE CRUEL CANCER IS BACK AND HE HAD BEEN BACK TO RUNNING GOLFING ETC. ITS BACK IN THE SAME SPOT AND HAS BEEN TOLD HE CANT HAVE RADIATION, SURGERY, ONLY POISONOUS CHEMO TO PROLONG HIS LIFE WHICH HAS BEEN NOT MUCH OF LIFE BECAUSE OF THE CHEMO SIDE EFFECTS NOT TO MENTION HE HASNT HAD A BITE OF FOOD OR DRINK IN ALMOST A YEAR--HE HAS A J-TUBE FOR FOOD(ENSURE TYPE DRINKS THAT GO DIRECTLY INTO INTESTINES--HE CONSTANTLY HAS TO SPIT IN A CUP BECAUSE HIS SALIVA HAS NOWHERE TO GO BECAUSE THE NASTY TUMOR IS BLOCKING THE OPENING OF HIS STOMACH SO THAT IT CANT EMPTY. WATCHING HIM GO FROM A YOUNG HANDSOME MAN TO WHAT THIS HRRIBLE DISEASE HAS DONE IS JUST UNBEARABLE. THE CANCER IS ONLY IN THIS SPOT. ANYONE WITH A SIMILAR STORY WOULD BE SO VERY HELPFUL.
