My father was diagnosed with gastric cancer and he was operated and left 10% of his stomach. They also found 4 lymph nodes with cancer from 11. Now, he is going to start with his quimo and radiation 5X a week for 5 weeks.He was diagnosed at stage III. My question is what does it mean that the cancer went to the lymph nodes? His treatment is for prevention only. But I'm not sure what's going to happen now. He is doing great when eating, but of course he is losing weight. Where do we stand now. Can the cancer spread to other places? It has been a roller coster.
