Stomach cancer sucks

blanco55

I just need to vent and get my grief out. My wife was diagnosed and died in less than a month. She had symptoms but were masked by medication. She had stomach cancer that apparently was leaking blood she was diagnosed as anemic so she started taking iron pills. If you look online and look up iron pill stools, they are very dark, but yet they have a green sheen to them. So it was hard to tell if there was actually blood in her stool as it was dark. But apparently she had been leaking and that was the cause of anemia thus the use of iron pills. multiple units of blood, but apparently due to other medical as trigeminal neuralgia she was not eating healthy. Then the last week she developed paraneoplastic syndrome, which basically means that her immune system attacked her and she basically lost her mental capacity and therefore was no candidate for palliative care but only hospice. She died five days after coming home. Look out for those stools with green even though green need to be tested for blood. Also make sure your nutrition is kept up because if you’re weak/malnourished they will not do chemo on you. Thanks for listening as I cry.
