  • Welcome to Cancer Chat abeano although I'm sorry to hear your sister has been diagnosed with linitis plastica. This must be a very difficult time.

    I noticed you were trying to connect with CinnamonGirl. They actually made this post towards the end of 2022 so there is a chance you may not hear back from them.

    I really hope that won't be the case, but I just wanted to make you aware in case you hadn't seen when this discussion was last active.
