My mother was diagnosed at the age of 65 years. She was a very healthy and active person that always looked out for health risks not only for her but for everyone around her. We were very shocked when the Oncologist told us it was Stage 4 Terminal Gastric Cancer. We were told on March 17th 2010 that she had a year with Chemo, she did one week of chemo and passed away on March 30th 2010. I broke my heart to see fear in someones face that never wore it before March 17th 2010.

@mekdemscream the chemo, Magic Trial--ECF, has some side effects, but I'm tolerating it so far, in my 3rd week now. I am trying to find survival rates of this disease, surg. total removal, partial removal, and no surgery if PET scans show no cancer.  But that info is not the easiest to find. Tough decision to make, and what is the recurrance rate after surgery. Sorry to hear about your dad. We really need more cures and not just treating tumors over long periods of time. Hope he makes it,

my dad had the gastric sugery done in march of 2010 it seem as if it was successful. but the tumor reccured and came back aggsressively 2-3 month later and its really breaking me t o watch my dad suffers. but i try to keep ah good spirit around him i cant let him see me cry. i wait until am in my car driving home and let it all out, he,s stressing him self out just sitting there thinking about it. is killing him faster than the disease and it look to me as if he,s ready to give up. it the pain.

I was just diagnosed with Adenocarcinoma, stomach cancer. What I experiences was what I thought was acid indegestion, after a second bout of it a month later, with black stools, tarry looking, I saw my Dr. who referred me to a gastro guy, found a large tumor, I see the surgeon on Tues, 17th to begin prep for surgery. I may be lucky, if you can call it that, it has not progressed to other organs. So I am hopeful that they can get it all. Hope this helps.
