I am an 84 year old woman but very fit and active. I have been diagnosed with stomach cancer but won't know until Friday 15th whether I can have an operation (it would be a full stomach removal). I am very afraid and wonder if I should have surgery at my age as at the moment I feel fit and well with no symptoms. Is there anyone who is or has been in the same position and what was your decision? If you had surgery what was the outcome?
