Hello Imogen21,
A warm welcome to our forum. I am sorry to hear about your friend's diagnosis. This is a rare type of stomach cancer with treatment similar to that for other types of stomach cancer. We have detailed information on this cancer on this page which I hope will help you understand your friend's diagnosis a little better.
If you type in the keywords 'linitis plastica' by using our forum search function which you can find on the blue banner at the top, you will be able to see past relevant threads on the subject and respond to any that you would like to engage with.
I hope that you will hear from others here who have had a similar diagnosis or who have a loved one who has also had linitis plastica so that they can share their story and experience with you.
Best wishes,
Lucie, Cancer Chat Moderator
