Hi All, very new to this. It's been 2 weeks since I've been diagnosed. And 1 week since my first chemo and immunotherapy. I have been diagnosed with stage 4 stomach cancer, with no cure. But I believe I will beat this cancer & am looking for a curative approach. I am 28 years old. I'm just a young blood, so with my strength emotionally and physically I plan to fight & kick cancers butt. It's funny that when they first told me they actually said to keep me comfortable, there's no cure & you have multiple tumors. With such heavy prayers, strength & positivity a week later they came back to me with the cancer being just in my stomach. Yes still stage 4, yes still no cure but it's not as bad as they said it was the day they told me. They also giving me aggressive treatment because of my health and how well I am presenting for somebody with stage 4. And I just believe God is amazing! He will work such wonders for me.
God bless all, stay strong & keep your head up 🙂
Hi @Tizzyj
I am very sorry to hear about your diagnosis. It must be a huge amount to navigate emotionally and physically. I can recommend our resource Emotions and Cancer.
If you feel it would be helpful to speak to a health professional and learn more about our services at Cancer Council please call us on 13 11 20.
Perhaps others in the forum can relate and share how they navigated early diagnosis?
Take care,

Stay strong man, cancer f$&king sucks. Eat healthy, exercise, don’t do drugs, don’t smoke, don’t drink, keep it clean. I’m 6 1/2 months in, almost finished my chemo. The pain is real. David Goggins it, stay hard!!!
