in Stomach Cancer #1

Hello, I was diagnosed with stomach cancer of April of 2024, 6 months after I had my 1st heart attack. Stage 2 in May of 2024 they removed 80% of my stomach . Currently going thru chemotherapy, sometimes I feel like giving up. The symptoms seem to get worse and last longer with each treatment. I really don't have any family support, friends seemed to dissappear after awhile.

    Hello Warrior63,

    I was diagnosed with stage 3 at 70 and i will agree this is a tough row to hoe. Read my story in my previous posts and then get back to me with any questions you have.
    It does get better after the chemo is over but it takes a while. I turn 76 in a few weeks and have a lot to be thankful about.

    Hello, I am 48, diagnosed with Esophageal/ Stomach cancer in March of 2024. Went through radio and chemotherapy. Then had major surgery in August. I was then told I was “Cancer” Free and called a Survivor. I am currently doing immunotherapy and also getting esophagus dilations almost every 1-2 weeks. I am still battling… I had triple bypass heart surgery in May of 2022. Continue your Battle and find your determination!
