Hello all,
My husband, 43, has been diagnosed with a stage 4 gastric Cancer last week! We were shocked as he had no symptoms other thank an occasional heartburn. We were told it was probably caught early given his young age, no symptoms and general good health. How I wish that was true! Last week the scans showed it has spread to the abdomen area and we were told it is no longer operable! Here I am writing to you desperate! We have three kids age 12 and under (youngest is 1.5). We are both foreigners living in ireland for 15 years now and have no family here! I am terrified of what is to come 😱😱😭😭😭
Hi Pauliii,
Thank you for contacting the Irish Cancer Society.
I am very sorry to read that your husband was diagnosed with stage 4 gastric cancer. This must be a very difficult time for both you and your husband and your young children.
Would you be able to phone one of our nurses on the Support Line and hopefully we will be able to offer some support and help. The Support Line number is 1800 200 700, Monday – Friday, 9am – 5pm.
Kind regards,
Cancer Nurse
