Hello, new to the site..my husband 57 was diagnosed 07/07 with stage 4 GI junction/stomach cancer with mets to the liver and lymph nodes. He began his chemo in August. Oxaliplatin, Xeloda and epirubicin...he had done pretty well with the first 5 rounds, had to stop when he developed extreme flank pain. He is now back on therapy and pain is resolved. He had a ct after the 4 cycles showed the liver mets gone, the primary tumor shrinking, but the nodal disease with little change. A recent endoscopy showed the primary tumor to be reduced by nearly 50% but his oncologist still says that it is non operatable. We are trying to get into Stanford for a second optinion...Has anyone had experience with them? Anyone on the same regime? This is one scary and cruel disease....we pray...
