Has anyone had poorly differentiated cells in lymph nodes?

Hi again,  

My FIL has had a partial gastrectomy during which 10 out of 20 nodes had cancer.  He is not fit enough for chemotherapy..

I spoke to his surgeon and the cells in his lymph nodes were poorly differentiated.  I know these are more aggressive.  

Has anyone else had similar?  Given he can't have any other treatment we are wondering  how long this will take to spread.  

Any insights will be welcome.  

Thanks

  • I'm really sorry to hear your FIL is unable to have any other treatment Gigi.

    I know this must be very difficult but our community are here for you and hopefully some of our members who have been in this position will be along soon to offer you their support and advice.

    In the meantime, if you'd like to discuss this in more detail with one of our cancer nurses, they're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    Kind regards,
