Hi Anusha; I also had poorly
Hi Anusha; I also had poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma cancer of stomach, and had 23 lymphs notes that had cancer. I had mine removed alone with all 30 lymphs notes and some part of my esophagus. This was 30 Nov 2011. I had ony 2 sescens of chemo for a total of 9 days, then quit as the chemo was killing me. I am doing fine and as of my last CT Scan, on 19 Mar 2013 I was still cancer free. I have learned what I can eat, which is most anything I want, and does no aggre with me.
That said, there is a better web site fr stomach cancer then this, it is on Facebook. Just do a search for Stomach Cancer Warrers & Garegivers,, then ask to join. Severay dozzen people are on that page every day, and ALL are very helpfull. Regards Robley0 -

Regards RobleyJust reading this...my father has been diagnosed and they had him do a very aggressive chemo first and then went in to do surgery and opened and closed again stating it was now in the abdomen also. Can I ask where you went and maybe where you are located. I wonder why they didnt do the surgery first? We are very worried now and they are doing more chemo but the prognosis doesnt look as positive after the first 5 chemos and then being off chemo for 6 weeks.

Hi Shelly,
I was diagnosed with Stage IV gastric cancer in 2012. We did 8 rather aggresive chemo treatments over a 4 month period which were effective and I tolerated them better than most. I would not have been eligible for surgery if the chemo had not helped shrink the tumor but thank God it did. There were a few weeks between the end of chemo and the surgery when I felt very good.
My surgery was January 2013, a total gastrectomy with HIPEC (100+ degree chemo circulated through the abdominal cavity). The recovery was difficult at times and the help of family and friends kept me strong and positive. After a few weeks, I had 4 more chemo sessions. They were a little harder on me than the first 8. I am now over 2 years with clean scans.
While everyones case is different, I will answer any questions you have to the best of my ability. Best of luck to your Dad & you.

Hi Peyman,
I am doing well, thank you.
My experience with chemo was better than most of the people I have talked to. I was able to keep my work out routine and was quite healthy (if you don't count the big tumor in my stomach) so I had no issues when I reported for surgery. The time between chemo and surgery was the best I had felt in over a year.
Hope this helps,
Dan
