Morning all,

 

my dad was diagnosed with ampullary cancer last August then was given the wipple operation which was very successful then followed by 6 rounds out 8 chemo. 
 
Yesterday we received the terrible news my dad has now got stomach cancer stage 4 not curable and can not operate.We have a appointment Monday to discuss  further.

 

does anyone know much about this form of cancer and what the options are? Thank you.

    Hello Rae3, 

    I am sorry to hear about about your dad. I hope the appointment on Monday sheds some light on the options that will be available to him. We have information on our website on stage 4 stomach cancer on this page which I hope will answer some of the questions you may have ahead of your appointment. Our nurses are also available on this free number 0808 800 4040 - their line is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm if you would like to talk things through with them. 

    We will be thinking of you on Monday. I hope the appointment goes well and that you soon find out more about the options that may be available to your dad. 

    Best wishes,

    Hi Lucie,

     

    thank you, I will give the number a call and have a chat with them. 
     

    the doctors have now said perineal cancer stage 4 which is secondary. We just hope my dad gets some time so we can make memories.He is in a lot of pain and being sick all the time.

     

    best wishes

    Rae
