Anyone in their 30's with this cancer
My husband is really struggling right now. His weight keeps declining. I know it mostly has to do with his depression. I am trying to find some people who are our age (34-38) going through this same deadly disease. I am hoping maybe if he can talk to someone his age experiencing his problems it might help. We live near…
Very good CT results; how soon will they consider surgery?
I am 38, and was diagnosed with Stage 4 stomach cancer (adenocarcinoma) on October 27 last year. I've had 4 rounds of chemo (EOX). After 3 rounds the large tumor at the top of my stomach/esophagus had disappeared, as had the enlargement of my lymph nodes (the CT report lists the stomach and lymph nodes as "resolved"). A…
Stomach Cancer Complications? Please help anyone?
My Father was diagnosed with Stage IV stomach cancer spread to lymph nodes 3 years ago. He had a total gastorectomy surgery and has been on numerous chemo and radiation treatments prior to the surgery and after. This was 2 years ago. He was cancer free and a survivor for about 6 months when we got the news that it had come…

New to here...looking for something positive
My mother was diagnosed with stage 4 stomach cancer last year. She was on a chemo treatment that was shrinking her cancer but it was killing her liver. Her medication has since been changed twice and she is now on xeloda. Her cancer has spread and she has been given 3-6 months to live. I have been teaching her how to eat…
Nausea
My husband has stage IV stomach cancer. He has been doing pretty well with this new round of chemo except for the horrible nausea/vomiting. Since being diagnosed in October food means nothing to him anymore. Most days he keeps it all down but some days are bad. It is so hard to tell someone to eat when they feel like crap…
My brother was just diagnosed with Stage IV Stomach Cancer...has already spread to Liver
My brother is 41 years old and was just diagnosed with Stage IV Stomach Cancer that has spread to his liver and possibly his pelvis. He's had a hard life, suffering from Lupus @ age 9 which lead to kidney failure and 10 years on Dialysis. In 2000 I donated a kidney to him. He developed diabetes some five years after the…
Prayers Please
I'm a cross over from the breast cancer site. A woman I worked with for many years passed away yesterday from stomach cancer. She fought a good long fight and as her brother said, quoting Elton John, "Her candle's burnt out long before her legend ever will". Please keep Linda, her family and friends in your prayers. Thank…
Freaking OUT
My mom was just diagnosed with advanced stomach cancer on the 8th. We will find out the stage next Thursday. My conern is she cannot eat, nothing will go down. Her tumor is at the very top of her stomach blocking it. She has lost an extreme amount of weight and it continues to drop. I have tried protien drinks to boost her…
" seasoned survivor "
Hi, I am interested in finding someone who has survived as long as I have after having total gastrectomy/spenectomy following stomach cancer almost 16 years ago. I was 42 at the time. My tumor was 5cm and had already eroded throught the wall of the stomach. The 41 nodes that were removed along with my spleen all proved to…

Taxol and avastin
So I have a question for everyone. My husband was on EOX chemo plan. The doctor said he was "not thriving" and some cancer and decreased but some had also spread as well. So they switched him to an off-trial duo drug (taxol and avastin). Has anyone had any experience with these drugs? My husband seems to be doing much…
