Gist/ Sarcoma

I can find no link on advice and support  for Gist patients. My partner recently had surgery to remove Gist and now on a treatment plan. 

  • Welcome to Cancer Chat Teetee, although I'm sorry to hear your partner has been diagnosed with a gastrointestinal stromal tumour.

    You can find out more about GIST on our website, but we also have a team of cancer nurses you can discuss this with on 0808 800 4040. Their phone lines are open Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m and they will do all they can to answer your questions and give you the information and advice you are seeking.

    The charities Gist Cancer UK and Sarcoma UK should be able to provide you with further support and advice as well.

    Hopefully some of our members who have received this diagnosis will introduce themselves to you soon, but you're welcome to seek out others within the community by using the 'search forum' option at the top of our webpage.

    I hope this helps Teetee and all goes well with the next part of your partner's treatment plan.

    Best wishes to you both,

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
