There's more folks but here's just 2 to start with. By look at their previous posts from the beginning, you can follow their story. You can also contact the Can't Stomach Cancer foundation, who will match you w/ a stage 4 survivor/ patient. No Stomach for Cancer is another organization that can be helpful.

If you are on facebook, there's also a private facebook group for stomach cancer warriors and caregivers. You can message me if you'd like more info on that.

Please hang in there.

Lots of love and hugs,

Togawendy, My condolences to you and your mother.  

I survived stage 4 stomach cancer!  The doctors told me I would die in "months" with no treatment, and, with treatment, perhaps I could live as a chronic cancer patient for maybe 2 years.  That was 3 years and 7 months ago.  And I still am cancer-free.  It was spread so far that I could not get surgery but I was told that chemo alone is not a cure because it cannot kill all the cancer cells.  But it did!  there is hope for your mother!  The drugs that are used are very powerful!

Best wishes to you and your mother.

Hi neenjeanne,

Wow, congrats to you, you are inspiring... my husband just had his scan and there is NED in his right rib after 3 cyles of chemo..and no mets,  he has EC stage iv.. surgery was not offered, he had primary tumour in the esphagus, 2 lymph nodes and the right rib..may be offered surgery now, feel a PET scan is needed before choosing surgery. 

there is hope.. I agree the meds if they do their job.. people may live longer ..

All the best to you

I also did change my diet to more what they call the anti-cancer diet of more fruits and vegetables and supplements of omega 3's and B's.  Best wishes to you and your husband.

Jeanne

Hi Neenjeanne - Could you please tell me more about your supplements? My dad is undergoing chemo for stage 1v adenocarcinoma esophageal cancer right now, and wants to add some supplements when he's done. Is what you're taking called Omega 3B?  Thank you so much for sharing!

The supplements are: (here goes) Omega 3 fatty acids, vit B complex, with extra B6 and B12.

NAC, lipoic acid (for neuropathy), quercetin/vit C/bromalein combo, co10, magnesium, calcium and vit D (because I'm post-menopausal). I think that is everything.  It sounds like your father caught it early (was that stage 1v or IV?)

How is he feeling?  Best wishes to you both!

Jeanne
