I don't know much about regions of the stomach, but I wonder if the pyloric region will mean they can save part of your stomach. My husband had to have his entire stomach removed. They had to remove MANY lymph nodes in order to save his life. He seems to be doing ok without those lymph nodes. I hope you can get good care in your country. I think I mentioned that my husband's brother is doing ok and he got care in Venezuela which is a very different country than here.

Hi Theresa!
Yes they might be able to save a part of my stomach. I'm not sure how much of it but I'm hoping for the best I'm so afraid of cemo everyone is saying that that make you more sick.
@kayleahb I am really glad to hear they may be able to save part of your stomach. That will make your life simpler if they can do it. I am not sure what kind of chemo you would have at your stage. It is likely that chemo would make you feel more sick, with the idea being that you would survive and feel better after you recover from it. My mother had a type of chemo where she felt dreadful for a couple of days, but then she would actually feel better than before for the next ten days and then she would have to get it again. Whatever kind you have to get, just hang in there if they tell you it can help cure you. My husband suffered a lot with it, but then he came through it and was able to go on with life. I am very thankful for that.
