Is Chemotherapy Suggested For Active Cells In Stomach?
I have stomach cancer metastised to peritoneum. had ECX chemo & no longer have a tumour although after laparoscopy & biopsy active cells still apparent in stomach & peritoneum.
What do you realistically think abaout more chemo and what do you realistically thik aboaut lie expectancy?
hi dear. you had a good response to chemotherapy, but as your biopsy still shows tumor inside, you should continue with 2 more cycles of chemotherapy or some form of metronomic chemotherapy. otherwise the viable tumor cells inside will start growing with time.
