Linitis Plastica - 3B
Hello My husband was diagnosed with LP in Feb 2012. We went straight to Duke 2/20/12 and they performed a total gastrectomy 4 days later (our sons 4th bday). Since then he went through 25 rounds of chemo-radiation (Chemo was xeloda) followed by 3 rounds of EOX. He has had clean scans since 8/24/12 PRAISE GOD. He is still on his feeidng tube following the TG but slowly weaning off. He has had a dialation of his esophegus because food was getting stuck. He has lots of pain from the radiation...but HE IS ALIVE!! We have 5 boys and a grandbaby on the way. Our youngest is 2 and oldest is 20. We have a lot to live for. My husband is only 40 and is tetermined to continue beating this monster.
