Dear Christine
I am so sorry to hear about your husband. I was diagnosed with stomach cancer in June of this year. I am 45 years old. I started having stomach pain a little over a year ago. My doctor kept insisting it was acid reflux and was treating me for that. In Febuary I went to another doctor who ordered a scan and a scope. They found a very large ulcer that eventually turned into cancer. I had surgery to remove the tumor. They also had to remove half of my stomach and it was in my lymph nodes. I just finished chemo and radiation three weeks ago and am feeling better now but when I was first diagnosed and I knew what I was going to go through I honestly didn't think I could do it. But I kept up the faith and I have made it so far. I also have a wonderful family standing by me. What I am trying to say is don't ever give up hope and if you're not satisfied with the care your husband is recieving get another opinion. There are many wonderful people out there who are willing to do everything they can to help. Never give up. God Bless
