Stomach Cancer has spread to Liver
by Dil, Mar 27, 2002 12:00AM
My Father-Inlaw, 60yrs old, lives in India and was diagonised with Stomach Cancer in Feb 2001. He underwent surgery for partial removal of stomach and has had subsequent chemotherapy. But this Jan(2002) he was diagonised that the cancer has now spread to the liver too. The doctors there gave him a 6months life span. Is this a definite time or can we do anything to help him.
How fast does it spread once it has hit the liver?

Would you by any chance know how expensive this can be as he doesnt have insurance and I am not sure if insurance will even pay for this. Thanks for any more information you can provide.
Or if you want to do a search, go to GOOGLE or other search engine and type in "stomach cancer clinical trials cost"
There are lots of new drugs being investigated.
Warmly,
