Hi all
I was diagnosed with stomach cancer. It is just below the oesophagus and started growing up. It is stage 2 (whatever that means)....but they wont know until I have my operation on 8th January when they send off for biopsy what stage I am. They are talking "curative" surgery which for me is a big bonus. My liver, kidneys, spleen do not appear to be affected. However I am worried taht if I do go through having part of the stomach removed whether it will come back at some stage. There are no guarantees and I think English treatment could be different to USA ones. I am undergoing chemo first 9 weeks --- rest for 3 weeks....surgery...and then more chemo afterwards to "mop" up.....Any thoughts?
