I have posted many times about my 57 year old husband who was diagnosed with gastric cancer on May 31 of this year.
He did amazingly well on chemo (ECF) and we were looking forward to the results of his CT scan and the possibility of a gastrectomy.
Unfortunately the CT scan showed shrinkage to gastic tumor, but extensive infiltration in bone (from scapula to legs). Today we learned that his breathing difficutly is not just fluid build up but cancer in the right lung. He has been off chemo for almost two weeks now (initially due to low counts, most recently for oncologist to get permission from ministry of health to administer cisplatin and another chemo drug {starts with letter T}.)
Amnia you have always been such a remarkable source of information...what have you got for me now? Thank you and kindest regards-Darlene
