Well the Upper GI Endoscopy is done.  I am  tired and sore throat.  Weird thing
is that the doctor said that he didn't find anything.  No signs of ulcers,
NOTHING.  Now, one can say that is good, but then why am I still miserable if I
am off my stomach meds?  In pain to the point wanting to curl up in the fetal
position and just die already when I don't have my stomach meds.  So the doc
seems convinced that it is my gallbladder somehow.  But he said he did some kind
of biopsies of the inside of my stomach and will check those out, if there is
nothing further, they will be calling me to do some more in depth check of my
gallbladder.  I have already had an ultrasound of my gallbladder and that
checked out fine.  I was really hoping for answers, so I am a bit bummed.

Hello. I was diagnosed with metastatic adenocarcinoma three months
back after about a year of ulcer-like symptoms.

I first went to a stomach specialist right after the symptoms appeared
and was diagnosed with GERD (Gastro-Esopegal-Reflux-Disease). They
gave me Prevacid. After quite a long time of wrangling with doctors
and beaurocracy, I finally got an endoscopy (a camera down the throat)
in September. Things meanwhile hadn't gotten any better; besides the
acid pain I'd started throwing up regularly. The endoscopy did indeed
show ulcers and a biopsy (sp?) showed a tumor blocking the bottom of
my stomach.

The medical establishment kicked into high gear. It had taken me three
months to see a stomach specialist; I was on the operating table less
than two weeks after diagnosis. The plan was to take out my stomach,
or most of it.

When I awoke, drugged and featuring all kindsa medical hookups, I
found out that I still had my stomach. Since the cancer had spread to
my intenstinal lining, the doctors decided to maintain my stomach and
add a bypass so that it could drain again.

After 11 days in the hospital, I went home to recover. Since I was
implanted with a J-tube (jejunim, I think), I could get nutrition
without having to eat, basically.

After a month of recovery, I started chemotherapy. My mixture is CapOx
(Capcitabeen, Oxiliplatin) and Epirubicin (it's actually red). So far
(two months in), the chemotherapy seems to be working fairly well. The
tumors outside my stomach (liver, lymph) have shrunk or almost
disappeared. The tumor inside my stomach is harder to measure.

That's the story so far. I feel fairly hopeful; not of a cancer-free
future but of a managable condition. The doctors tell me that I have
youth on my side: I was diagnosed at 27 and I'm now a little over 28.
In general, my health is okay.

So, that's my intro. I hope everyone does well and noone else ever
gets this disease.

Take care,
-Ramsey

Hi,
I've heard that going for surgery after chemo is not advisable at times as the
body defences are compromised after chemo and the post surgical recovery gets
complicated. Check with other Drs/Oncologists if possible.
Joe.

Hello all!  I am new here.  Just wanted to introduce myself.  I am Laura, I am
28 years old and I have been having severe stomach issues for at least 7 seven
years or more.  It has continued on and on.  At first I was diagnosed with
different kinds of ulcers and treated with meds like Nexium, Protonix, Aciphex,
Zantac, Previcid, Karafate, etc.  None of them truly helped.  I have many
symptoms.  I have been scoped twice, but that was some years ago now.  I have
another appointment to be scoped in January.  My dad's father died from stomach
cancer, my dad's mom passed from pancreatic cancer, both of my grandmother's and
even my father have had their gallbladders removed.  My mom has stomach troubles
as well.  This interrupts my daily life continually.  I am at a loss and looking
for others wise words and friendship, experiences, etc to share.
That's all I can think of right now.

Thanks for having me...
Laura

My wife is no stranger to cancer. She lost her Dad to gastric
adenocarcinoma 8 months
ago. Four months after he died, she was dianosed, at 25, with Stage
IV ovarian carcinoma.
She doesn't get out of bed most days anymore. I was there when her
Dad died, so I know what this most likely means. She is spending her
days writing away.... she insists that a book with all the things she
had to suffer to learn in 30 months while she cared for her father be
written down and then published to help others have to suffer less to
find these things in the world of a disease where there is so much
stress, exhaustion and suffering already.
In the meantime my sister-in law, who lost her father and is now
losing her only sibiling, began a website attempting to do good in
the world of the disease that took her father out and is now taking
her sister. She is a 20-year-old girl who is attempting to do this
while putting herself through school.
I am trying to fulfill the wishes of my wife and support my sister-in-
law and resultantly I ask you visit http://www.wishingyouwells.com.
This website is what gastric cancer inspired my family to do.... see
if it can help yours

Hi Joe!

It was American workers on the world's first atomic bomb who became the first
industrial victims of beryllium, a rare but especially light, stable and strong
metal whose toxic dust can kill those who breathe it.

   Now Seafarers doing ship maintenance and have used Jasons De-rusting and
de-scaling guns (also known as J-gun or Jasons pistol) raise concerns about
exposure to beryllium.

   Unlike other metals, beryllium does not spark and was therefore used on tanker
ships containing fuel.

   Beryllium can cause a long-term lung disease (berylliosis) in some people by
triggering an immune (allergic) response in the body. In general, significant
exposure to beryllium in a respirable form is required for any disease to occur,
and symptoms may take up to 20 years to develop even after exposure has stopped.

Hi,

I too had investigated the alternative camcer cure options for my wife. One of
them using a techic similar to Issels is http://www.ncrm.org/aiet/index.htm.
On analysing their clinical publications and talking to them I found that the
cure rate is (like Issels) roughly about 10%, and its prohibitively expensive.
My wife refused outright to undergo any further treatment especially since the
chances of cure was so low. Other Drs whom I talked to about this autologus
immune therapy said that it sounds theoretical and its worth experimenting only
if you have a fat wallet.

Pl talk it over with your oncologist as they'll be aware of such treatments and
its outcomes.

Bye,
Joe.

  There will be times when you'll break down and feel hopeless. Ask God to
comfort you in ways that only He can. He'll get thru to you maybe thru a Bible
verse, or thru something you read, or an email, a phone call, etc. Only He knows
what will comfort you at that moment.

  I hope your husband has accepted the Lord as his savior. My wife was able to
bear all the suffering with the knowledge that "God is good all the time," and
He never does anything without a purpose. Like I said before its impossible for
us to comprehend everything that's happening, but when we trust Him completely
He gives us peace of mind amid the turmoil.

  God be with you,
  Joe.

  Hi Flores,

  Sorry to hear about your husband. My wife (42) went thru the same -

  adenocarcinoma of the duodenum - for 7 months. An 8 hr surgery and

  then four cycles of chemo with different drugs did not help her. We

  finally stopped chemo so that she could live without the side effects

  for some time. She passed away peacefully on her birthday (Sept 16th).

  There's actually nothing drugs can do in such situations. Drs keep the

  chemo going 'cause they don't know what else to do. I'm not blaming

  them, but that's the way the disease is.

  My wife and I found a lot of peace, inspite of the nightmare we were

  going thru, in trusting the Lord. We wont understand it all, but we

  have to hold on tenaciously to the Bible verse "All things happen for

  the good of them that love the Lord." Its not easy to do that, but

  when you pray sincerely you'll find the "peace that passes all

  understanding" . I've gone thru it & so I tell.

  The Lord may send a miraculous healing, and you should pray for that,

  and get others around to also pray for him. But both of you should

  prepare yourselves mentally. I'm telling out of experience, pl get

  your legal papers and other formalities done - you can throw them away

  later if he is healed.

  Sorry if I'm disappointing you, but I thot I should share what I've

  gone thru. Take care.

Thank you Joe for answering my email.  I am so sorry to hear about your wife. 
We also pray for a miraculous healing, but at the same time, we are preparing
ourselves for the worst.  We try to enjoy every little time that he feels better
and make the best of it
   I wish  you the best

Sorry to hear about your husband. My wife (42) went thru the same -
adenocarcinoma of the duodenum - for 7 months. An 8 hr surgery and
then four cycles of chemo with different drugs did not help her. We
finally stopped chemo so that she could live without the side effects
for some time. She passed away peacefully on her birthday (Sept 16th).

There's actually nothing drugs can do in such situations. Drs keep the
chemo going 'cause they don't know what else to do. I'm not blaming
them, but that's the way the disease is.

My wife and I found a lot of peace, inspite of the nightmare we were
going thru, in trusting the Lord. We wont understand it all, but we
have to hold on tenaciously to the Bible verse "All things happen for
the good of them that love the Lord." Its not easy to do that, but
when you pray sincerely you'll find the "peace that passes all
understanding". I've gone thru it & so I tell.

The Lord may send a miraculous healing, and you should pray for that,
and get others around to also pray for him. But both of you should
prepare yourselves mentally. I'm telling out of experience, pl get
your legal papers and other formalities done - you can throw them away
later if he is healed.

Sorry if I'm disappointing you, but I thot I should share what I've
gone thru. Take care.

Regards,
Joe.

Mesothelioma the medical name for cancer of the pleura (the lining of the lung
and chest cavity) or cancer of the peritoneum (the lining of the abdomen). It is
usually caused by prolonged or persistent exposure to asbestos.

   Symptoms of mesothelioma may not appear until between twenty and fifty years
after exposure, which explains why so many new cases of this form of cancer are
coming to light now, even though the dangers of asbestos were realized long ago
and measures taken to reduce the risk of the disease.

   As with many forms of cancer, the mesothelioma tumor can spread rapidly, often
infecting the opposite pleura, and continuing on to other internal organs.
Symptoms include a shortness of breath, chest pains, coughing, and loss of
weight.

As Janet Craven, palliative care nurse, and Andrew Dean, palliative care
physician note in their respective forwards to this book, Lean on Me is a unique
and intensely personal description of a writer's responses to her husband
Brian's diagnosis, treatments and final death from mesothelioma. The book also
provides useful discription of the nature of pain, the usefulness of certain
drugs, and the ways in which keeping a journal can assist the medical
practitioner in assessing pain management. The overarching narrative, however,
is the progression of Brian's cancer, and his erratic but inevitable
deterioration.

It is documented that Australia had the highest per capita use of asbestos in
the world from the 1950's until the 1970's. As a tragic consequence, Australia
now has the highest per capita incidence of mesothelioma in the world. With more
than 500 Australians contracting mesothelioma per year, it is estimated that up
to 18,000 Australians will die from this asbestos related cancer by the year
2020.

   Despite the growing awareness of the dangers of asbestos, there are many
people who have not heard of Mesothelioma. This asbestos related cancer is
defined as: a malignant spreading tumor of the mesothelium of the pleura,
pericardium, or peritoneum, arising form the inhalation of asbestos fibers.

   One of the most baffling and frightening known facts concerning Mesothelioma
is that many years may pass, between inhalation of asbestos dust and its deadly
legacy of disease; it is not uncommon for four decades or more to pass before
symptoms due to asbestos dust inhalation become apparent.

   In November 2004, I was an invited speaker at the Global Asbestos Congress
2004, held in Tokyo Japan. Over 800 participants from 40 countries around the
world were in attendance. To be a part of such a large gathering of fellow
humans, united in a quest to rid the poison of asbestos from our environments
was an intensely moving experience. Having lost my husband to mesothelioma I
know first hand the suffering this cruel disease places on its innocent victims.

   Five month ago my husband has been diagnosed with stomach cancer
(adenocarcinoma) stage IV because the cancer has spread into the bones.
   It has been a nightmare.  He is only 44 years old  and up to know he has

   He was been recieving chemotheraphy every two weeks.  Doctors are aming to

advance stage of his illness.

Most people who develop mesothelioma have worked on jobs where they inhaled
asbestos particles. However, they may have been been exposed to asbestos dust
and fibre in other ways. This could include working with asbestos or by home
renovation using asbestos cement products or even by washing the clothes of a
family member who worked with asbestos. The resulting disease is rare form of
cancer in which malignant (cancerous) cells are found in the mesothelium, a
protective sac that covers most of the body's internal organs.

   Mesothelioma occurs more often in men than in women and risk increases with
age, but this disease can appear in either men or women at any age. About 2,000
new cases of mesothelioma are diagnosed in the United States each year. Although
reported incidence rates have increased in the past 20 years, mesothelioma is
still a relatively rare cancer.

   There are various procedures used for the treatment of mesothelioma. The type
of treatment depends on the location of the cancer, the stage of the disease,
and the patient's age and general health.

Since the late 1800's Asbestos has been mined and used commercially. The use of
Asbestos dramatically increased during World War II and since the early 1940's
millions of Americans have been exposed to asbestos dust working within
industries where initally the risks were not known. There has been widespread
exposure to Asbestos by workers within shipyards, mines and mills, producers of
asbestos products, workers in the heating and construction industries, and other
tradespeople and an increase risk of deveolping mesothelioma has been the
result. .

   Today, the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) sets
limits for acceptable levels of asbestos exposure in the workplace. By contrast,
the British Government's Health and Safety executive (HSE) states formally that
any threshold for mesothelioma must be at a very low level and it is widely
agreed that if any such threshold does exists at all, then it cannot currently
be quantified. For practical purposes, therefore, HSE does not assume that any
such threshold exists. People who work with asbestos wear personal protective
equipment to lower their risk of exposure.

Mesothelioma is a type of cancer involving mesothelial tissues of body organs
usually lungs or abdominal. It is often caused by exposure to asbestos. However,
there are 30-50% of patients without any history of asbestos exposure. People
who have received asbestos exposure of as little as one or two months to very
low doses are at risk of mesothelioma cancer. Even people who wash clothes of
asbestos exposed people are at risk. A person exposed to asbestos could develop
mesothelioma after 50 years of exposure.

   People in the occupations such as construction jobs in shipyards, insulators,
boilermakers, etc. are at the risk of contracting asbestos disease.

He was only a child when it begun -and he played as children do- in his yardwith
his toy cars and tip trucksBut his sand was asbestos blue?
   In December 1999, my husband and I were walking home from a game of lawn bowls
when I became aware of his shortness of breath. I was surprised and concerned
when he told me that he had experienced this on several occasions. Believing
this to be due to chest a infection, I made a doctor's appointment for him the
next day.
   Chest X-rays revealed fluid on the lungs, over two litres of which was
drained, giving Brian immediate relief, but it was a tense wait for the
pathology results.Through the Internet I had become aware of several conditions
which may have been responsible for fluid on the lung; these included asbestos-
related diseases. Brian had lived in Wittenoom as a child and I was afraid of
his diagnosis. Not wanting to worry him unnecessarily, I did not mention my
fears to him. I prayed that he had pleurisy or pneumonia but the pathology
results revealed that there were cancer cells present.
   When Brian finally received his diagnosis, my worst nightmare became reality.
He had pleural mesothelioma, a terminal cancer of the lung caused by the
inhalation of asbestos dust. We found it inconceivable that the disease was the
result of Brian inhaling asbestos dust as a child and that it had lain dormant
for forty-five years before become lethal.
   We were still reeling from the shock when, without preamble, the young doctor
gave his prognosis. His exact words were, "Three to nine months, I reckon". That
he could say this so unfeelingly amazed me. His total lack of compassion did not
encourage even the small comfort of tears. I felt as if Brian and I had been
shot and from that moment on we were waiting to drop.
   Undoubtedly, were mortally wounded. We suffered shock, disbelief, anger,
helplessness and utter despair; in fact all the symptoms of grief one feels when
a loved one has actually died. Once again we found ourselves with no control
over our lives. This time however, there was no light at the end of the tunnel.
Our journey through terminal illness had begun.

Mesothelioma is a serious form of rare cancer. There is no known cure for
mesothelioma cancer. If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with mesothelioma
cancer you will no doubt have many questions and concerns and may have wondered
if you need a mesothelioma attorney.
   Although the number of people being newly exposed to the risk of mesothelioma
cancer is now at a minimum, newly diagnosed cases of the disease are set to rise
dramatically in the coming decades. This is due to the fact that symptoms can
take 30 to 50 years to develop. Sufferers only become aware of symptoms once the
mesothelioma cancer has reached an advanced stage, which is why the disease is
so difficult to treat and has such a low survival rate once diagnosed. The has
caused an increase in the need for a mesothelioma attorney in some parts of the
country.

When I was 17 old I started working at an asbestos mine in the Yukon. I had the
excitement of youth and looked on the thing as a big adventure.

The mine was located about 7 miles from the Alaska border on the banks of the
Forty Mile River, which emptied into the Yukon River some 5 miles or so north.

I first arrived in August and started working on the Surface Crew. This was the
group responsible for outside maintenance of all things on the surface. This was
fine when we had those few relatively warm days in summer, but later it was a
bit more difficult to be working outside in minus 55F.

One of my first duties was to keep clear the conveyor that took the unused
asbestos out to the tailings piles. Tailings piles are basically the dregs of
what's left over after milling the asbestos and is run out of the mill on
conveyor belts to large piles behind the mill. At that time they were about 100
feet high.

I was given a shovel, and a small mask (kind of like the little paper ones that
painters use) and told to go shovel off the conveyor belt on the tailings piles.
Dutifully I climbed up with my little shovel to clear any blockages of asbestos
from the conveyor. I remember clearly at one point standing literally knee deep
in asbestos on top of this 100 foot high pile and looking inside my very poor
quality mask and seeing the inside (where it's not supposed to be) all grey from
the asbestos dust. I then took out my hankerchief (yes, I carried one) and blew
my nose. Sorry for the rude, graphic description, but it was all grey. And that
was my introduction to work at an asbestos mine.

Mesothelioma: What is it?

Mesothelioma is a malignant cancerous disease of the cells lining the patient's
body cavities such as chest, abdominal region or the area surrounding the heart.
It is thought to be associated with exposure to asbestos, and this asbestos
association has been documented in 70-80% of all mesothelioma cases. Asbestos
cancer or mesothelioma is very difficult to assess and diagnose consistently.
The time between exposure and the onset of the disease, and the rate of
progression of malignant mesothelioma, make diagnosis very difficult.

It is believed that even insignificant exposure to asbestos in environments such
as asbestos mills, mines, shipping yards, some older Navy ships or even
patient's homes can result in mesothelioma. In many cases mesothelioma does not
occur for decades after initial exposure to this cancer-causing asbestos.
2000-3000 cases of mesothelioma per year are currently being diagnosed. Family
members of workers exposed to asbestos can also contract this disease through
exposure to the worker's clothing. Like many other cancers, smoking greatly
increases the risk of contracting mesothelioma.

Some of the earliest symptoms of mesothelioma are commonly over looked due there
similarity to symptoms of less serious diseases. Some patients do not show any
signs of sickness in the early stages of development of the disease. The most
common symptoms of mesothelioma include dyspnoea, pleuritic pain, lasting cough,
fatigue, and weight loss. These symptoms may not be attributed to mesothelioma
unless the patient is examined by a competent and knowledgeable health care
provider who orders the appropriate tests. Test for mesothelioma, or asbestos
cancer, may include CT scans, x-rays scans, or MRI. Surgery can be one of the
treatment options; however, the recurrence rate of cancerous cells is high. It
is very important that the disease is diagnosed and treated as early as
possible.

This disease is not more prevalent in any particular race or ethic group;
however it is more common in men. Most cases of mesothelioma occur 30-45 years
after initial exposure to asbestos. Once it develops, this cancer will continue
to grow until it is treated or the victim expires.

Shauna I am sorry to hear of your loss. I too have checked and read one of these
emails for the first time in awhile. You are right, they are scared but in my
boyfriends case he is more scared of leaving me alone. He wants me to find
someone to take care of me. As far as it being medication that creates the moods
swings, that's not true. My boyfriend isn't doing any chemo or anything, he was
told he didn't have much time left and he didn't want to spend it in a hospital.
He was told this 2 years ago. I am now not sure how I feel about Chemo or any of
the treatments out there for Cancer patients. I think by the grace of god and
the love I have for him is why he's made it so long. I pray he goes like your
father, he has suffered enough. I pray for everyone who is going through this,
whether it's them or family. God Bless you all. It is a hard disease to watch
someone go through and I know his time is getting shorter. I pray every day for
a miracle.

   I know he is sooo scared and feels cheated that he won't be able to grow old
with me, we met just before he found out he had cancer. Every day gets harder
and harder but I make the best of it. I have learned that the little squabbles
are just that and I let them go. When they say life is too short, they weren't
kidding.

   God Bless you all.

I have just checked my email for the first time in a while and want
to comment on the topic. Dad died on July 14, not even 4 months
after he was diagnosed. He was just 61, he was a very caring,
emotional man even before the cancer. The moods are not medication,
but a fear of dying I believe. I realize now what was hard to
comprehend at the time. I know now that no matter how scared we
are, it was nothing to the fear my father had, he was scared beyond
what you would imagine. Your mother may need to be talked to. Tell
her that you are scared too, so is your dad and this is not the time
to be angry. I now have times where I am pissed at dad for leaving
us...how dare he. The dog thing... my mom just got her first lap
dog, one week ago. I will tell you that your mom may be right this
may not be the right time to get a dog. Soon you will not have time
for a pup, why would your mom want to share her time with a pup, or
why would she want it to take away your dads time, she will be gone
sooner than you realize, then there will be all the time for a dog.
It is hard to care for a pup when you spend all waking and sleeping
time at the hospital. Some might think it would be good for a
distraction, but that may not be what you need. The reality is that
death may be near, it needs to be dealt with. You would not want to
miss out on valuable time. When your mother gets cranky, maybe
suggest that you may not have a lot of time left and you do not want
to spend it being cranky or bitter at each other. Speaking the
truth is important. I had alwasys wanted it to end soon, but now I
realize I wanted the cancer to die, not Dad. Try to find a support
group for those with the cancer and maybe for yourself. To the one
who's father was annoyed because you didn't read the list of food
right away, Don't fret, he is scared and doesn't want to waste
valuable time. Most cancer patients die of malnutrition which is
even greater in stomach cancer patients. Myt dad was probably luck,
he was sitting up and trying to enjoy a morning in the hospital,
starving to death, when I think he moved back to his bed, the cancer
ruptured, causing his body to go into a shock. He finally went into
a coma, his lungs filled with stomach juices and cancer, and passed
away in a morphine state at 3:00 am on the hour. It has not been
easy, but we new he was dying and atleast had 4 months to say
goodbye. Do not waste time, you don't get it back, remember they
are even more scared than us, they will need our comp-lete
attention, my life was put on hold, I made sacrafices, do I regret
it. No, I wish I would have done more. Shauna
