Welcome to the forum Jangelaa although I'm really sorry to hear of your partner's diagnosis and that the doctors have decided not to do any treatment.

Kind regards,

I’m sorry to read this, my husband who’s 80 had his stomach removed due to stomach cancer last Jan, he didn’t have chemo due to his age, I think the main reason for not operating on you partner is because it’s spread. Are they not offering palliative chemo. I’d phone up the upper GI nurse and ask a few questions.  I e mail my husbands nurse they’re very helpful, I find e mailing better than phoning. Again I’m very sorry that there’s no operation but I’m sure there must be something to be done. Good luck x
