I was diagnosed with stomach cancer in June 2003. This was very devastating news for my husband and I as I am only 45 years old. My husband of two years and I have five children and five grandchildren between us and are very much looking forward to watching them grow up so we are not giving up hope. I had half of my stomach removed and although they got all of the tumor they found cells in 6 out of 9 lymph nodes. I just finished chemo last week and have been through five weeks of radiation. I will be tested within the next couple of weeks to find out where I stand. I would like to here from anyone else who has this type of cancer and share information with them. From what I have learned this type of cancer is not common for my age and gender and I have been told that this is not an easy type to cure.
