Gastric Cancer
by manil12332, Jul 23, 2008 05:15PM
Hi
My Brother(33years) had a Stomach cancer(H.Pylori) and 3 weeks back he got surgery and 85% of the upper part of the stomach is removed (Sub total gastrectomy with D2 dissection).Operation was done in India.
Total 11 Lymph nodes were removed.The pathology report says 2 lymph nodes are effected.
- Signet ring cell carcinoma (poorly differentiated Aden o carcinoma)
- Tumor infiltrating up to muscle layer and serosa.
- Resected margins are free from the tumor.
My question is after the operation, when he is taking the solid diet
he is vomiting and losing his weight day by day. So please suggest me
* What foods are best soon after surgery?
* How can he avoid dumping syndrome?
* Are there foods or drinks he should avoid?
* Doctors are saying his survival is OK? What does it means
* Can you please tell at what stage his cancer is?
* Is it very dangerous?
Please let me know your advise. It is very helpful.
Thanks for all your help
