Dear Sir,
My name is Imran and my father name is Ali asgher.
My father was suffering from stomach pain and doctor done endoscopy
and they found one large exophytic mass in fundus. after reports they
did surgery partial gastrectomy.
In the pathology report they mentioned that they found a large tumor,
exophytic growth, measuring 8.4x6.7cm. in the greatest dimension,
gray brown color, round in shape the tumor seems to lie along the
greater curature, in the fundic area,
after three months of surgery, he can;t eat and drink. he feels
acidity, vomiting and chest pain without having food. he gonna weak
day by day.
kindly help me out what can be possible.
Dear member,
Was the final diagnosis Stomach Cancer? If it is so then the risk of cancer
recurrence after Partial Gastrectomy(removing 1/2 stomach) is quite high.
From the symptoms you describe he could be having a recurrence of the cancer in
the residual stomach.
The surgeon need to test him by doing endoscopy and CT scan to be sure unless he
is physically very weak and show evidence of advanced cancer.
