My brother was diagnosed with stage four cancer in January. He was responding so well to chemo. Then the day after he received platelets he got a stroke and died last night. He was only 43 and fighting so hard.This is such an awful disease.

Yes, stomach cancer is a terrible disease, and even more so when it strikes young people like your brother.

I am very sorry to hear of your young brother's death. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this time of great loss for you all.

Sincerely,

Robert A. Wascher, MD, FACS
