I'm glad to hear that the chemo your son is having has prevented the cancer from spreading Dorothy but I can understand your questions due to his prognosis. The only ones who can give you answers are your son and his medical team so do speak to them about this if you haven't had the chance to do so yet. You can chat to our cancer nurses about this too. Their freephone number is 0808 800 4040 and they are available Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

I can't begin to imagine how hard this situation must be for you but try to take things day by day and enjoy the time you have with son.

Best wishes to you both,

Hello

we seem to be in the same situation. Told incurable stomach cancer and only palliative chemo an option, which my fella started on Tuesday. He has to have 6 months of the stuff. Then a scan! What happens after then I don't know!! X
