I, too, have gastric adenocarcinoma and it's been devistating to my family. I'm 58 years old and am just starting my second round of chemotherapy. The first round lasted about 4 months after surgery which was in January 2005. I just started another round a couple of weeks ago after my PET scan lit up like a Christmas tree, showing cancer in what was left of my stomach and other places in my abdomen. I'm Stage IV and my doctor is not very positive either. We just keep hoping that the supplements I take that are supposed to enhance chemo will do what they're supposed and do and will get this thing into remission. MD Anderson is one of the best cancer centers in the country, said to be on the leading edge. If I lived in Texas, that's where I'd be getting my treatment. Your wife is young and that gives her a good fighting chance, so hang in there. My daughter set up a Google Alert for me so that any news regarding gastric cancer that shows up on Google gets sent to me once a week or so. Some of it regards new drugs and some of it is useless information. None of the articles have found a miracle cure yet, unfortunately.
