Did you have any complications? Did you have HIPEC at time of surgery. Are you doing chemotherapy or immunotherapy? Trying to gather as much info as I can. I meet with Dr, Grotz on the 27th or 28th. My appointments got all screwed up....lol

Hey Jake first of all I am so glad to hear that you are seeing Dr.Grotz prior to surgery they said it would take 9 hrs. It took 11 hrs Dr.Grotz checked 27 lymph nodes which were all negative for any cancer so for my surgery I was told there were no complications. I did not have the Hipec because my cancer was only IN my stomach. I had 4 rounds of chemo FLOT than a pet scan Grotz said my tumor was almost completely dead according to the pet scan that was great news so he had me do 4 more rounds of chemo FLOT so here is a rundown of what I had.
Diagnosis in march of 2022 4 rounds of chemo FLOT pet scan 4 more rounds of chemo FLOT than my surgery in August my recovery was very good it was 4 days and on me second day I was eating solid foods. Well I hope this helps if not let me know 😁. Dave
