Hi, My Mom, who is the hero of my life, was accidently diagnosed with diffuse signet cell adenocarcinoma of the stomach. She had an appointment for a colonoscopy (we have family history of pancreas and colon cancer and she has had some benign pollyps removed in the past). She had some intermittent hunger and heartburn feelings the last month- 2 months and thought she maybe had the beginnings of an ulcer. She had one a long time ago.So she asked if they could do the endoscopy at the same time and they found a clean colon and a stomach ulcer with some cancer cells which were biopsied etc. The next step is the barium and CAT scan in 2 days. I am so worried. I want to be strong for her and in front of her but I am not ready to be without her. Has anyone elses cancer been found this way? I'd like to hear your story. thanks to you all who are so brave and I pray for your recoveries. Ellen
