We recieved the news today from the surgeon that they will be doing partial gastrectomy and removal of lymph nodes and possible removal of spleen. This will be done on may 6. as of now no chemo. The oncologist seems to think this is non invasive. I am new to understanding this and seems to me if he's worried about the nodes and spleen does this mean spreading or what? Sometimes they really don't explain alot. Maybe they are waiting until after surgery. The dr did say they will have a pathologist on standby to biopsy the nodes and spleen. The tumor is billard ball sized and said it was a slow growing tumor. We are praying every day. I guess we will no more after the 6th.
