      My husband has inoperable stomach cancer. He is on a feeding tube. He is on chemotherapy. Last night and all day today he's been having halucinations. Anyone have experience with this?

    • Close Gastric Cancer

      My husband was diagnosed with gastric cancer 20 months ago. It is also in his esophagus. Now it has metasticized. I need hope.

      Treatments

      Chemotherapy Too Soon to Tell
      He is back on chemo- 4 sessions so far. They say there will be no cure, but are hoping to slow it down.He is tired all the time- doesn't move from his recliner, says he doesn't want to live like this. He will be having a PET scan and an MRI to see if his cancer is reduced or still growing. Nausea and diarehea, gas and stomach cramps are all increasing with each chemotherapy treatment.
      Surgery Working / Worked
      After losing a good portion of his stomach and esophagus, his resection supposedly left him cancer-free for 9 months. Then it returned to the original site. 2 months after that it was in pelvis,spine,and lymph nodes in chest.
