  • Hello Yiaskyou and welcome to the Cancer Chat community.

    I'm sorry to hear you've been diagnosed with Linitis Plastica. This must have come as quite a shock but I'm glad you've joined us as many of our members know how life changing a cancer diagnosis can be and hopefully some of them will be along soon to offer you their support and advice.

    To reach out to others who are already on this journey, I'd recommend using the 'search forum' option in the purple bar above as it will bring up a list of discussions you can read and join by clicking on the pink 'reply' button underneath a member's post.

    I hope your chemo goes well and your consultants are able to come to a decision about your surgery soon but in the meantime if you have any questions about your diagnosis or treatment, do give our cancer nurses a call. They're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    Kind regards,
