Diagnosis last week with linitus plastica

Offline Canny over 2 years ago

Hi hoping I gain further insight to this diagnosis. I have been informed ithe cancer has spread therefore cannot have surgery.

Losing weight

Appetite reduced but still eating

The professionals have given a prognosis of months not years

Would like help to understand the stages of this prognosis and how best to prepare

Hello Canny

I'm sorry to hear about your recent diagnosis and that the prognosis you've been given has not been more positive.

We have some information on our website about linitis plastica as well as some information about living with stomach cancer which may hopefully answer some of your questions. You're also most welcome to call our team of nurses and chat things through with them. I'm sure they will be happy to offer any advice, information, and support they can. If you'd like to talk with them they're available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040.

Sending my best wishes,
Jenn
