    We are both new to this and cancer

    this was such a shock going from heartburn to Lanitis plastica

    my friend is opting for stomach removal but another doctor is suggesting chemo first

    looking for any input , this is very scary and he is set for surgery this Wednesday

    Our oncologist recommended chemo first to shrink a tumor in her stomach. Then she had a Gastrectomy. After a period of recovery she will have more chemo. It's up to your friend and the oncologist to decide what's best.
