Hi everyone,

A few months ago, I posted an email about my husband being diagnosed with stage IV stomach cancer. Since then, we have gone through 2 cycles of chemo and got great reports on my husband's last CT scan from May 1st. It had showed a reduction in his cancer in the stomach as well as his abdominal cavity. We are so excited and we are not giving up. His doctors were even so surprised to see such great results this early into his chemo. We believe it is a mixture of great chemo drugs, faith, exercise, a good diet, and a good attitude. I just wanted everyone out there who are going through this to not ever give up and to have faith. My husband's chemo drugs are oxyiplatin, Taxotere, and erbitux(sorry if those are misspelled). Dan, my husband has had few side effects and is getting to return to work on Monday or Tuesday of next week. At the beginning of this journey, I thought I would never see my husband happy again. We still have a long adventure to go, but we are going to make it. So whatever journey you are on or your friend, family-member, please tell them to never give up and to keep living!!! Thank you to all those who have kept me motivated when I thought all was lost. Thank you for helping me, help my husband.

I am very happy for you and your husband. Maintaining a good attitude is half the battle and it sounds like you have been able to do this along with diet and lots of faith.  Congratulations!!!

I must ditto that, faith and attitude have a lot to do with one's outcome. My dad has lived with stomach cancer for eight years.  He has always tried to remain active and never felt sorry for himself or gave up.  I honestly feel that his determination and prayer is why he is still here today!  There is HOPE!  Best wishes for continued healing for your husband.

What stage was your dad when he was diagnosed? Did he need radiation in addition to chemo?
