i just got diognosed with cancer 1 month ago . its nice 2 hear that u r doing so good and i hope it stays that way ..i was just wondering if u can tell me how hard is it to eat with out a stomach ,and is it possible 2 gain ur weight back,im going to have surgery on 12/27/07 and im a little nervous that if i have that surgey im never going to recover..they say im et stage almost 2 , and its very localise.it has not spread anywhere else, but they say its possible that when they start the surgery they might still have to take my whole stomach,
