Signet ring cell cancer - timely treatment

A couple of weeks ago, my mom was diagnosed with stomach cancer. After a series of follow-up scans and a laparoscopy (which felt like a rollercoaster ride with torturous waits!!), the doctor diagnosed her with T2N0 - still relatively early stage.

However, her endoscopy results were already suspicious of cancer back in July (3 months ago!). We are very concerned because it has been over 3 months without any treatment. Her first chemo is scheduled in 2 weeks, but knowing the aggressive nature of signet ring cell, I am so worried that it might keep spreading. If I had control over the schedule, I would start chemo this week.

Any info/shared experiences with Signet Ring Cell Cancer would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
