August 2006. Had a total gastrectomy in Oct 06 and underwent chemo/radiation. Last June he started having complications swallowing but scans and endoscopies showed nothing. He ultimately had a recurrance and another surgery confirmed the cancer was back and there was nothing else to be done.
He went into the Hospice unit at the hospital on feb 18 and died on the 22. The battle was long and painful but the treatment was well worth it.
If you ever have any questions or need to vent, I'm always checking in on my pals here.
God bless.
