Has anyone had experience with stomach cancer resulting in a total stomach removal? A family member has just been diagnosed with a stomach tumour, localised to the one spot. We have been told that the process will be chemotherapy, surgery to remove the stomach and then a final round of chemo. Can anyone share their experience with this type of surgery and recovering after a total stomach removal?
