I hope he responds well to treatment and keeps on kicking ass!

[Panamark]

Stomach cancer is not one of the ones I would like to be informed about....
Second to liver or brain cancer imo.... (Pancreatic is up there too)

Fuck, this sucks.

Like, is it actually cureable ??

I do hold more than a passing interest in the subject having
been treated for another type of cancer. Im doing really well
in fact after all the mega embarrasing crap you go through,
I cant tell that there was ever anything wrong ??
Everything works the same ?? Pleased with my treatement choice.

Hopefully the new technologies that they used on me
can help him out.. You know what sucks the most with
cancer ? You have to wait 10 years (sometimes five) to
know if the treatment actually worked...
He is one tough little bugger thats for sure, thats gotta
help...

If I was diagnosed, that's it for me. I won't do the chemo, I've seen what it does and I'm not into cutting body parts off.

I know you can cut the stomach down to next to nothing, and it will grow and stretch back so probably if it's not malignant and spread to other systemic parts hes got a good chance.

[Panamark]

Im afraid that every person I have known that had that diagnosis
lasted 6 months tops...

You have to have symptons before they can find it, and by the time
you would be showing symptons of stomach cancer.... I dunno...
Hope with every fibre of goodness within my soul there is such a thing
as early diagnosis with this type of cancer.

You have to have symptons before they can find it

The trick with that I think is, people ignore the symptoms thinking indigestion, or boozing effects.

If I had to choose, I'd go with dick cancer and let the thing rot right off. It's not like I ever use the thing..

Black Sabbath meets Kansas - DIO sings Christian rock!

No, seriously..........

that, my friend, is a damn shame.

Well, ever since JizzyStool dumped GAyR for a woman, he never got over it. Poor GAyR.

Yep. My mother lasted about seven or eight months with it. The doctors said she was absolutely clean after they began treatment (and say whatever, but we were using alternate forms of medicine as well), but they said it was in our best interests to continue chemotherapy "just to be safe". Unfortunately, they continued it too long and it destroyed her ability to make red blood cells. The cancer in her stomach came racing right on back and it was over within a month.

Stomach cancer is a very ugly prognosis.

[GAR]

See, that's the thing exactly, right there. Doctors will lie and tell you all sorts of shit for more money even if you're gonna croak so I'd rather just go out with dignity instead of like an over-microwaved potato.

[Hardrock69]

My grandpa died of it when I was 9. And that was back before they had the current treatment options, such as they are.

Goddam. This fucking sucks fucking ass!

Sorry to hear that BB
Its an intenesly personal thing to experience (when you are
the victim) and start thinking, shit I might not be around in
x amount of time. I have felt that feeling now, and I really hope
I dont have to again

Sounds like your mother went early. Thats really sad.
Hope you all got to say what you wanted to ....

Fuck the global crisis, we should be pouring all our
money into stem cell and cancer research. I reckon
those two will be the cure ultimately. I would like
it to happen soon !!!
