her oncologist says she also should have chemo as long as she can stand it.he says this type of cancer does not resond well to chemo.

Is your father still on chemo. The big concern I have with my wife who had Stage IV stomach cancer and has been on chemo since April of 07 is the possibility that some recommendations may be to never stop the chemo but simply lower the toxicity of the treatments in order to prevent reoccurance. This seems like a harsh way to live (on chemo forever); has anyone else had an oncologist suggest this continued treatment. She is currently in remission and has been since August of 07.
