I am a 53 year old male married with an 11 year old son and I was informed that I had stomach cancer almost a month ago today . A CT scan confirmed this and that it was also in the local lymph nodes. My Gastroenterologist has requested PET/CT scan and MRI which have just been completed this week. The CT scan showed some abnormal signs also in my liver however they are not sure if this is just due to a fatty liver. I was told that if it was also in the liver the prognosis was about a year. Since then the anguish has been unbearable. Some days you feel strong only to plummet to the lowest of lows. I have an appointment with the Oncologist next week however it is traumatic while waiting to know the results. Treatment if only in the stomach versus improving quality of remaining life if also in the liver. I only hope that next week I hear that it is only in the stomach. Sad as it may sound, this would be at least good news as strange as it may seem.
