Omentum Cancer

Does anyone out there have experience with someone who has omentum cancer. Usually it is the way ovarian cancer is diagnosed, as it has moved from the ovaries to the omentum. The omentum is the sack that holds the large intestines.

However, it is very rare when men get it. My husband was diagnosed wit omentum cancer in April 2016. It is incurable and he must have chemo every two weeks for the rest of his life.

 

It is very dificult to deal with, as I am sure you can imagine.Just wondering if any other men out there are dealing with this form of cancer.

 

Thanks

    I waited to post

    Hoping some person with a happy story would.

    My neighbor's initial diagnosis was this. He survived about five years taking all available treatments but he did have other health issues plus his don was dying of leukemia concurrently and passed about a month after his dad.

    Wish I had better news on his outcome.

    Thank you Noellesmom

    I know it is bleak. But i just try to live everyday, and pretend the future is far away. We are hoping for 10 years at least. I have never prayed so much in my life as I do now.

    Keep hope

    My husband is approaching his seven year diagnosis anniversary for a type of stage 4 throat cancer which has a really awful prognosis statistically.  He should not be here.

    Although he has some serious health issues, he is still with me.

    Maybe your husband is as stubborn as Jim!
