In the meantime, please know we are here for you if you need to chat.
Good evening My fella aged 43 was diagnosed with advanced stomach cancer. Inoperable and on the palliative chemo regime. 6 months of chemo. So far it's clearly working as he Can now swallow food again since last October we just pray it keeps shrinking it!!! We have two boys 9. & 8 yrs xxx
i have two very young children and have been told I’m palliative. I’m looking into trials abroad for surgery... doctors say my quality of life will be better if I stick to uk chemo. What do you think about palliative chemo? Do you think it would be a better option than gastrectomy and HIPEC?
If you can try to get referred to a specialist in the Christie foundation trust hospital. They have specialists that would help you hopefully. You may also benefit from clinical trials that on offer there.
