The specialist diagnosed him immediately after two tests that he was in stage 4 stomach cancer. This fist doctor has put my husband in a bad life or death situation with his wasting of time (three months) trying to diagnose his symptoms himself. I am so upset and want to know what I can do about this doctor's irresponsibility. I have been told since this situation about other people he has done this to also. I would also like some information on nutrition and how we can focus on the right foods to enhance his immunity. Thank you, Marci Mike S. Thu, 06 Feb 2003 00:00:00 GMT Hi Marci, My mom is 56 years old and was diagnosed with stomach cancer 2 years ago. She had her whole stomach removed and had to do chemotherapy. We found out last week her cancer has returned. Her oncologist has mentioned going to clinical trials. 2 years ago they gave her a few months to live. They did it again last week. She's fighting. Let me know how your situation is. Mirat Mirat Mon, 21 Jun 2004 00:00:00 GMT Hello Marci, My mom had stomach cancer stage IV in the douderm. She could not eat. There is a tea call ESSIAC tea you may want to look into and a lot of green vegtables, high doses of vitamen C to help fight this cancer. We tried the gastro surgery but, the cancer had spread so she had a G tube which help feed her. NO chemo at all it would not have helped her just made her last days more miserable. If your husband can do the gastro surgery and the cancer has not lached on to anything or is not outside of stomach walls this is an option. A lot of prayer this helped and do not give up. If you choose chemo see what the quality of life will be and if it will really help. they had put a drainage tube from my mom's stomach that released the bile because she kept on vomiting. This helped her a lot. I hope this helps God Bless you and heal your husband. Allene allene H.
