I am sorry to hear about your dad's diagnosis. My dad is doing well with the chemo receiving 11 out of 16 treatments of not real aggressive treatment but agressive doses. Today he was told that because he was having a hard time with the chemo and the cancer had subsided, they would stop the chemo for awhile and he could always restart it. The doctors believe that the lining of his stomach has thinned and the cancer is not as strong. My dad has a positive attitude and is a trooper. He is 74 years old. He is eating and dijesting his food. The doctors seem to be pleased with his progress. He is relieved to be taking a rest from the chemo. Keep in touch. Iamsadvpad
