My mother was diagnosed with stomach cancer level3. THey said we are giving chemo only for support and not for a cure.. it was sad news, but we never lost hope in God and thought with the power of God this can be beaten.. After having so much cancer found on the stomach the CT scan after 6 months had shown NO SIGNS OF CANCER! so the doctors can sometimes make it a big deal, when its something that can be cured. my message to you is DO NOT LOOSE HOPE. The hard times come for a while, few months, but then you can have your normal life again. Accept that this is a life phase, and everyone goes through something, sometime in their lives.. you need to soldier on and know that we are all going to dia one day, but have faith and God will help you to get through it in the least painful way possible. i hope your loved ones are also cured from this dreadful illness, and that you never have to go through such hard times again.... With Peace.

thanks Andrea. initially it was really hard, but now my mother is no longer in pain. which means the chemo has worked to kill the bad cells in her stomach. From dringking gaviscon 3 times a day, she only has it once in a while. Also able to have bread without pain. Im so grateful!! its been 3 months, and the doctor said to continue with her treatment.. so we are going every fortnight for now...

not too well actually.. feeling heavy in the stomach after eating ANYTHING. she looks weaker, and we have our 2nd chemo treatment next week. we are hopefully going to see a dietitian and the doctor Tuesday to see if she is well enough to start the next treatment. shes trying her best to eat- but its very hard to digest for her.. walking up and down the house the get it digested..

unfortunately dairy is no good for her. she cant have milk or yogurt. also unable to digest any meat or chicken so well.. so its really difficult for me at the moment, trying to get her to eat things with high protein. Having all veggies and fruit smoothies at the moment. lucky she can have cucumbers and tomatoes....
