Hi everyone, my dad had been recently diagnoses with stomach ca. He followed the usual diagnostic procedures i.e. egd with biopsy, ct and upper gi series. On July 5th he had total gastrectomy and removal of part of his esophagus and spleen. The dr reports that this was "a very aggressive cancer". The surgery also involved the slow removal of theses organs from the posterior aspect of the abdominal cavity as the cancer had adhered to these structures. Dr. states "he sx was not curative by any means" and oncology consult follow up is in 6 weeks? Help. I love my family so much but I feel they are all in denial and I’m finding it difficult to act like there is nothing wrong or pressing for the next 6 weeks until we meet with an oncologist. Does anyone have any experience with this?
