Subject: My Dad has Stage IV Stomach Cancer....
Date: 09/26/2007

Hello Everyone, After being sick for almost a couple of months, my Dad finally received a CT Scan and endoscopy in August of this year.  A mass was removed along with 50% of his stomach, and the mass was cancerous, and had spread to his lymph nodes.  My dad began chemo but has currently stopped due to chronic bloating of his stomach, which has been attributed to no other blockages, but just because the cancer is not allowing his stomach to function properly. So he'd literally have to get liters of fluid pumped out of his remaining stomach. He'd also get really bad hiccups and get sick also.  He had a tumor drained in a bioduct and a stent put in, but he is now being put on a feeding tube and we are told the chemo treatment he was undergoing was not helping like they thought.  Is there anything anyone else has come across that has proven effective in fighting the cancer at this stage?  My dad is only 55, and outside of the cancer was in good health.  Any advice or words of encouragement?
