Suggest Complications With Stomach Cancer In Elderly
My father in law was diagnosed with stomach cancer, they say it has gone through lining but they still gave him 5 chemo sessions this week while going in for 6th they have sent him home and said that they will not treat him with chemo anymore. They will maybe give him a lumber puncture and scan. We feel my father in law is not telling us everything and we would like to understand what he is going through so that we can help and what time he has left
