    I have stage 4 stomach cancer too. It’s at the junction of the esophagus and the stomach. It has since spread to the lining of the stomach and now my doctor says we have moved away from a cure to just palliative care. He hasn’t given me an estimate on how much longer i have left but im still definitely fighting for that cure. Right now im on opdivo and folfox, we had to stop the oxali because i was getting really bad nerve damage too. Im doing all that i can to stay alive. Im drinking guanabana tea and eating fruits like chirimoya and apples, anything that has shown to help with cancer. I hope that we may get past this, hoping for a miracle for the both of us. Take care friend.

    In his 70's during a 5 year period, my Stepfather survived colon cancer (surgery took out large part of colon), lung cancer (surgery took out most of 1 lung), prostate cancer, and melanoma (large growths that started during his Army time in Vietnam). He survived years of chemotherapy and radiation. He did say radiation was the worst with the burning. During this cancer time, while he and my Mom were visiting me for Christmas from Florida, he went out in the snowing freezing cold weather and jogged 10 miles.
    He is now 92, lives by himself in the house since my Mom passed away, drives himself, and has never had the return of the cancers he survived. His were the top 4 cancers that kill men at that time.
    The morale of his story is continue fighting and "never say never." Life doesn't come with an expiration date.

    I wish you a long life. New treatments come up every day. So many are now “living” with cancer. My sister is also one of them… very rare sarcoma. Surgery and treatment when the next recurrence comes up. My brother also had a related sarcoma and passed from that because he had uneducated doctors on this type of cancer, it’s so important to find specialists for what YOU have, not just any Oncologist will do. I have three other siblings and we are all very aware we may be next since it is curious two siblings have such a rare cancer. Sarcoma cancers are less than 1% of all cancers and there are many subsets of that one. There is hope tho. She is alive today only because she was able to get the best doctors in the country to try different things after being written off by an HMO. Everyone: be vigilant! Don’t take “no”or “that’s all that can be done” for an answer. Bless everyone going through cancer treatments, it’s not fair and not fun. The angel nurses make it so much better. Bless them too! ❤

    Thank you for this video. When I see these “The Patient Story” videos, I have to stop myself from cursing the Fates and saying, “There are so many truly horrible people we hear about daily; why are they free of deadly diseases while good, even brilliant, kind and compassionate people have cancers or other life-threatening diseases?” Of course, it’s a stupid question. Our bodies sometimes do what comes naturally, and it happens to very necessary people and even to the psychopaths and destroyers amongst us.
    I feel this every time I watch these videos, but yours made me want to say what I did. I wish you and your family as long a time together as possible. I hope your expectations are exceeded.

    I have no idea how this video got into my feed... it's truly amazing how someone can be so seriously ill, yet look great. Cancer is so strange. Forteen years ago, after the removal of a very small and not too aggressive malignant breast tumor, followed by five weeks of radiation, I was cured of cancer. But then three weeks ago after a routine mammogram and further tests, a small tumor along with rather large area of precancerous tissue was found in the "healthy" breast. Suddenly a double mastectomy and who knows what all else is looming on my horizon, although I feel as good as I ever have. Still, I have so much to feel blessed about. At least I'm fairly confident that BC won't be the end of me. You and your beautiful family are in my prayers.

While I understand your prognosis, please do still reserve a special and peaceful little spot in your heart that just continues to know - all on its own - that so-called “miracles“ do indeed happen.

The treatments for cancer haven’t really improved much, often being brutal and disfiguring.

    @ThePatientStory. So happy to hear you are doing well. However, I'm distressed you are not doing your part to remove any chance of the cancer returning. I have liver and pancriatic cancer, with other organs effected also. As soon as I heard, I began a course of Ivermetin, which helped greatly. I then did a 3 day water fast, and remained on a vegetable broth diet. I now eat zero glucose diet, and take Ivermetin 3 days out of 4. These things we can do, and they kill cancer completely. Combined with Chemo and surgury, everyone can be cancer....
    Please don't just wait for it to return. Destroy it at the root, while it is weak...

I was supposed to start my chemotherapy tablets two weeks ago, but I haven't taken any. If I don't take chemotherapy, I'll only have months. I'm very scared. I was scared to take the chemotherapy as the side effects were bad. I've to take 2,800 mg twice a day of Capecitabine tablets. Can you advise me if taking chemotherapy is worth it?. I don't want to be feeling sick all the time. Thank you.
