I am SO sorry to hear of both your husband's passing and your diagnosis @Pepsijax
Stomach cancer is a particularly nasty one. My husband had most of his stomach removed in 2010 - many don't make it to 5 years - he's at 9 years just now - but following the surgery, developed anaphylaxis, diabetes & now dementia! grrr.
What a bugger - your diagnosis - well done on doing the screening off your own bat & finding it early and doing the hard yards.
I think @kmakm had some sort of gene testing done .... she may be able to answer your questions.
All the best for your daughter's wedding ..... it's been a tough year for your whole family - so good to have something lovely on the horizon to look forward to. Big hugs coming your way xx
Doesn't the waiting suck? Good luck on the results. Even if you do need chemo, I am sure it could wait til after the wedding & celebrations.
