I found the beginning to be the scariest. I had the same diagnosis but it did go into my stomach too. No radiation. Heavy duty chemo for 6 doses then surgery. They took 1/3 of stomach and reconnected it to the esophagus in my right neck. I'm one year since diagnosis. Surgery was in January. I'm doing well now. Definately go through some rough spots, but there is light at the end of the tunnel. You have found a great group and I hope you find inspiration here. You are young. This cancer shall not define you. It's merely a chapter in your book. Best of luck. Prayers for you and your caregivers.
