Teri,
Thank you for the encouraging words. When you were first diagnosed with stomach cancer, what stage was it? I ask this because you mention you are stage IV. My wife is also stage IV and they told her that she would never be considered as a surgical candidate. They are giving her chemo every week (cisplatin, taxotere and 5fu) six weeks on and two weeks off for palliative care. What kind of supplements are you taking. No one has mentioned anything about any recommended supplements. Do they seem to be helping any? Her doctor at MD Anderson (Dr. Pisters) was her surgeon and Dr. Phan is her Oncologist and they have been very good to us. We go back every 8 weeks for testing (lab, x-ray and cat scan). Her last testing revealed some stranding of the disease indicating that the cancer is continuing to spread but we pray that they will continue her chemo as long as her body is able to endure it. We know that God is the Great Physician and we know that Jackie is in His arms and He will sustain us. We wish you the best in your cancer journey and hope that you are still doing well. Bill
