Hi Leighinaspen! Just wondering if you could share what kind of results your ct scan showed. Thanks.

look up [g.ohsawa] on the net, buy his books and read it. i reed it and now on my way to a recovery, i have gastric stomach cancer which has spread to my kidney bladder lower intestine and some other areas. doctors said its incureable i reed g.ohsawa's books who has cure so many people with all type of disease and now im nearly fully recovered. tips on eating, no sugar or sugary foods, fats, oil, meat, or cand foods because these foods cause cancer to devellop very quickly, eat organic foods veggies brown rice sesame seed, for more rescipe look at g.ohsawa's teaching on how to eat to beat cancer.you can also used one large ginger crush it lightly and wrap it litely in a cloth the boil up 2 litres of water put the cloth of ginger in the boiled water then used a clean small towl soak it in the ginger water put on some water proof thick gloves take the towl out twist asmuch water out as possible roll the towl in have then slowly lay the towl on the tumar area until you feel its no longer hot then put the towl back in the ginger water again. repeat this for 25 minutes three times a day. make sure u keep a lid on the bowl or it cold get cold fast, used a new ginger ever day. good luck

HI, I am a 32 yr old female, was diagnosed with stomach cancer stage 4 on June of this year. at that time, they believed that it could be an ovarian cancer, only during surgery they discoverd that I had stomach cancer. they removed my reproductive system and staged, they only found cancer in this area and in the stomach. I was then scheduled to have surgery with Dr. Mann, to remove my stomach on July of this year. by this time my  cancer had spread to some lymph nodes, and to my small intestine. on the day of the second surgery they removed my stomach, the nodes, part of the pancreas, and the spleen.  during surgery I had chemo that was poured directly into the stomach cavity.  after surgery, I had a feeding tube connected to my small intestine to facilitate nutrition, unfortunatly it was hard for me to get anything in, so before leaving the hospital I had a Picc line placed and I am getting TPN. I have not been able to eat much even though they cant find anything wrong with my new digestive system.  I need to get rid of the TPN, and then the feeding tube. I need suggestions, I try eating solids but they feel so heavy, my intestines are always hurting, and I always feel like trowing up.  I try eating soups, but it leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I am doing chemo I have a constant infusion of 5FU 24/7  and every 3 weeks I get another 2 different chemos. I also need suggestions to get inspired to do exercise or to walk around, since I feel so week with the chemo that I just dont feel like doing anything.  I have a great support system, and I am looking forward to being a survivor, my first CTscan came out clean of cancer, my next one is in Nov. and I am hopping for it to be the same as the last one. I have a 5 yr old girl that keeps me on my toes, all I need is to eat and not waste away. thank you for your suggestions

Have you had any luck in finding things to eat.  my boyfriend also had his stomach removed in september '07.  he has a hard time eating too. everything gives him bad cramps.  he has a feeding tube but doesn't use it for the same reason.  he is down to 110 pounds now.

Hello...this is the first time on this site, and my husband has had his total stomach and partial esophagus removed on june 16 2008.  Since diagnosis (jan.2008 he weighed 175 lbs.) , he now weighs 108 lbs. he has lost about 12-15 pounds since the surgery, but his weight has been stable for about 3 weeks now. Did your boyfriend gain any more weight back and if he did how long  did it take
