I am a 79 year old male. Today, 1 Dec 2012 I have made it Cancer free for 1 year & 1 day. Last year I was a 185 lb 5' 11" male, but for the last several months was not feeling strong and easly short of breath, tieying out easy. In med Nov 2011 I admitted myself to the hospital for a check-up, and when the EDG showed that I had Stomach Cancer I opted for surgery, so on 30 Nov. 2011, the doctor. removed my entire stomoch, my gaul bladder, part of my eugsafic and 30 lump notes, of the 30, 23 were already infected with the Cancer. He then attached my small intestens to my eugsafic. I stayed 10 days in the hospital. I recovered nicely, even tho I was having some trouble with what foods to eat & not eat. Even tho I was having some mild direeria, on 9 Jan 2012 I started Cemo. 5 days then 3 weeks off and then another for the nex 6 months. After the first round, my mouth was so infected with mouth sores and my toung so sloowen, I was having a hard time eatting and drinking, that I got dehighraged and ended up in the hospital.  My GP gave me med to help with the direeria.  The next time they gave me a lesser dose of Cemo and a nurse told me to suck on ice cubes all while I was getting the Cemo to help with the mouth sores, that did help a lot, but again I ended up in the hospital as I needed blood tranfreson, 2 units. I then told the doctor, no more Cemo., it was killing me.   I got my direeria in check, learned what foods to stay away from and what to eat. I have gained back some 7 lbs of my lose weight, and now can eat allmost anything I want. I am not back at 100% but doing much better.   Now I eat about 7 times a day, small meal and CHEW my food very much as so to let my mouth do the breaking down of the food that my stomach use to do, and drinking water with every bite. Needless to say that I try to get as much protien as I can. My wife makes me some fruit drinks ( 1 hole banana, over ripe when possible, plus other , apples, paers, peiches, ect. with a hole scop of protion power and lactaid free milk). I drink about 16 onz a day of this, even at night time when I wake. I eat creamy peanut butter sandwichs in the mid day. Right now I eat any thing I want, just small portations.   A few months after I stop taking Cemo, the wife and I went on a 2+ months car trip around the US and Canada. I did most of the driving.   I hope that this might help some one that is looking for info on Stomach Cancer as I know how hard it is to find info.
