    I was diagnosed in 2011 with it in my left lung. Granular , they removed the bottom section robotically ; good but they nicked my intestine so had to dur emergency surgery 2 days later. I recovered the Lords help and was clear for 1 year and reappeared in right lung, small tumor did radiation for 16 weeks. I was clear for 5 years and was just diagnosed with it in my stomach. Mucous and ulcer. Went under Rituxin for 4 weeks . Still stomach not feeling great, tired bu;t all in all well. Am having new edg on 29th for biopsy and look see. God willing it worked . We will see.

    I had the new edg done and

    I had the new edg done and showed ulcer gone but cells stil in lining of the stomach . My Dr. Recomended chemo because this was the 3rd time. Started chemo, Rituxen and bendecka for 6 rounds and neulasta had 4 rounds but had bad side effects. Broke each month with hives so by the 4th  they were all over body and eyes ears. We opted to stop for 2 months then so Dr. We did another endo and pet scan and owed nothing so am in remission right now. Still having some small side effects , don't know how long they last. I take nexium  and carafate. nexium in morn. carafate before each meal. We shall see when and if it reappears and where.
