Late stage stomach cancer

My mother was diagnosed with gastric mass that was determined to be cancer. She had the Paracentesis done with 2.5 litter of liquid drawn. The surgeon refused to do a surgery suggesting that the surgery will not help at this stage. However, I am still looking for a place where surgeons in a team effort with newly developed technologies like stem cell, proton therapy, biotherapy and others can cure a more advanced stomach cancer. I want to avoid chemotherapy unless it really works. I can email you all the test results. Please let me know if you or anyone else you know can help.

Thank you for sending all this information.  I am somewhat overwhelmed by the amount and would like to ask you a few questions.  First, would you recommend anyone in So Cal who you know is good?  Second, are Medicare and Medical acceptable by these clinics?  Since we are just beginning should pursue biotherapy plus chemo?  Do you know anyone with stomach cancer who is doing well? 

Thank you very much.

Sorry to hear about your Mom. My husband 53 yrs. old was  also  diagnosed with stage 4 stomach cancer surgery not an option 7.4 liters of fluid drained after his 5th chemo treatment and all cancer. The chemo is not working ,he was getting was taxotore cisplatin & 5FU(not sure if spelled right)  He will be starting new meds we will find out this Fri which one they will be using. But everybody reacts different to treatment.

My husband was diagnosed in Feb 09 had 5 treatments so far and still working on off chemo weeks. His attitude is great which helps alot.

My prayers are with you & your Mom 

hope all goes well

Diane, thank you for responding to my message.  I am considering various options including natural homeopathic treatments.  Have you tried anything other then chemo?  I saw a doctor today that suggested injections of vitamin C.

Hi again Gennady sorry to bombard you with so much information can you please tell me what type  of carcinoma has you mum got

 

I’ve been fighting cancer for three years now and I know I’m wining. I’m from Queensland Australia.

 I have not seen any one with stomach cancer whose on conventional treatment do well on it but after it, I really feel that with my family there problem was they all went back to the foods and drink that give them the cancer in the first place.

 

Maybe I’m a bit bios but I remember the lost of my family dieing of Late stage stomach cancer. they all had conventional treatment. After words they seem to be all right then they got sick again It was a lost I still haven’t got over.

 

These were wonderful people who would go out of there way to help any one who needed it I loved and still miss them so much. I know now it they had of stuck with a cancer fighting diet they would be alive to day

 

 When I found out I was also dieing of cancer in 2007 I believe it when I was told by my doctors they could do no more for me. So you see I thought I was going to die.  Back then and I believed them.

 

Then in 2007 I met my naturopath Deborah who taught me about cancer she said that our body produces cancer cells from the time we are conserved to the moment we die, our bodies cancer defenders handle these few cancer cell quite well, It only when we do things that enables our bodies to produce to many cancer cells, and our bodies immune system gets over whelmed, that we get cancer tumors. She also told me when we have cancer the whole body sick not just one or two parts of it. my  hope for you and your mum that she  gets around this  All the Best Ray


My mom has peritoneal carcinomatosis.
