TWO SPOTS OF CANCER FOUND!!!
My cousin, Stacie , had her total gastrectomy (stomach removed) 3 weeks ago TODAY. She just got home over the weekend due to some complications. She had an endoscopy in October and it came back CLEAR. ONE....I REPEAT ONE MONTH LATER...she has her TG and pathology shows TWO spots of CANCER!!!! No chemo or radiation needed, but she will still need to meet with an oncologist. Just think if she would have waited another 6 months to do another endoscopy and/or surgery where she might be. This cancer is so quick to spread and the only way to detect it is with an endoscopy as it doesn't show up on any kind of x-ray or scan! I am so happy and thankful, even with the complications she has had, that she chose to do this surgery and I'm sure she agrees!
