Friend with cancer

post #1 of 7
Thread Starter 
My sister's old best friend for almost 20 years has been diagnosed with stomach/intestinal cancer. I am not sure how large the masses are. she just went through 4 rounds of chemo. I am not sure that went well as she required 5 liters of blood. She should be undergoing surgery soon. Then she will have more chemo and probably radiation. She's been in the hospital more than out lately. She was one of those fun loving, full of fun and life people that you never imagine could be sick let alone dying. Although, she was my sister's best friend, I always thought loads of Tammy. She was also the reason we had taco salad night every week because she was at our house a lot and that was her favorite meal. I think the cancer was fairly advanced when they found it. Fortunately, he dh is retired Army so she's receiving excellent medical care.

I have read up about intestinal cancer and the survival rates for a woman of her age are good. I just hope she makes it through all this chemo.

Re: Friend with cancer

I found out that it isn't intestinal cancer. It is some kind of rare cancer that causes tumors all over her body. they are just in her abdomen area. I talked to a friend and she said they are removing the one remaining cancer which has not grown and hopefully, she'll get a clean bill of health after this. However, I have read about these sorts of intestinal surgeries and she will probably have chronic IBS after this. Poor lady.
