Thinking of you, seems like we are exactly in the same boat. We been told due to the cancer in his stomach he will be lucky to get to next year. We are trying everything and giving him as much support. Chemo he is also about to start but has been difficult due to complications with the stent and feeding tube.

I'm sorry to hear that I did some reading last night have you looked into alternative Chinese medicine? Apparently it can be really helpful with the chemo side effects. This is all so new to me I just contacted a charity to discuss counselling for the family and well as we are trying to remain positive and make the most of the time we have left with him, however long that may be. 

Strangely enough we also been looking at Chinese medicine. Unfortunatly my father in law does not have long remaining but anything that can help him with his vomiting would be great.

I suppose regular anti emetics won't help with that? Have the hospital suggested anything? How is your husband coping? I'm so worried about mine he is still so shocked and very sad, no idea what I can do to help him

[@annie35]‍ - I am in the same boat, he is very sad and does not want to talk. He also has not been given much time and is questioning why even bother with chemo.

I am trying everything to even see if there is alternative options but has been a struggle. It seems like there is no hope which is what is most sad about this all ordeal.

How about yourself how is he coping?

Hi everyone, 

I'm so sorry to read all your stories. 
I lost my dad 18 months ago to this vile type of cancer, he was the strongest fittest man I know so there really is no rhyme or reason to this type. 
Story on my profile if you are interested. 
I have been through every emotion you can imagine, I was pregnant with their first grandchild who arrived 2 weeks after dad went to sleep. 
I was there through everything, the appointments, the chemo, the radiotherapy, the eating problems, the sleepless nights and now trying to be the very best support for my mum who is truly devastated so please feel free to message me if you have any questions. 
 

It is a rollercoaster, even more so in this mess of a world at the moment, but my dad got as far as he did with a positive attitude and everyone's stories are different so have hope x

[@Sunshine87]‍ Really to sorry hear in regards to your father passing away. Must have been extra tough with you also being pregnant. So sorry to hear.

We been told he does not have long remaining and surgery is not a option. We are looking at all options to at least try and see if they work. We have  chemo appointment tommorrow and hoping that can help but reading all the stories with this cancer, it is tough to see any hope. :(
