What Is The Prognosis For Stomach Cancer?
My friends husband has stomach cancer. He's lost alot of weight and has that gray look. gets winded pretty quickly. No pain meds have been helping and he's started on morphine this past Monday. He's also having pain from bulging disks in his lower back. I thought once you start taking morphine that starts shutting down other body parts. Just wondering how long he will be with us.

hello..
with the information you provided i cant exactly say how long he can survive..
it depends on type of cancer,severity of local disease and extent of spread..
even if the disease is diagnosed early the prognosis is poor..
take care..
