Hello everyone,
i'm new here, so please bear with me.. My
husband got diagnosed with phlegmonous
gastritis a month ago and was given a 5%
chance of surviving... He has been on
strong antibiotics since then and has not
been able to leave the hospital.. They
discharge him after keeping him there for
a week, then he gets pains, vomitting and
goes right back in. The hospital has
done that 3 times now (they won't let him
stay there). His doctor is the only
doctor that I have encountered so far that
knows about this disease (he actually
diagnosed him). We wanted 2nd opinions
but no one seems to know enough about it
where I can fully trust their judgment.
The Dr. Is saying to have surgury and
remove his entire stomach but even then
hes not sure what his chances of surviving
are. Does anyone have anyyyyy
information on this?? Pleaseeee ive been
calling hospitals and dr's and am very
very frightened. Please respond
