I have a close friend who was diagnosed with a low grade cancer. Last month they removed a mass from her stomach. They cannot find the source. In late April, she is scheduled for a 14 hour surgery. They are using what she called a new technique that involves a one time, large blast of chemo.
Apparently, they will be looking at all her organs in an attempt to locate the origin. She is very sketchy on details. They mentioned removing part of her stomach and intestines and the possibility of an ostomy bag. Has anyone every heard of this type of procedure? Thank you.
