I would like to say hello to everybody. I am new to these boards. I have recently been diagnosed with adenocarcoma. The doc says it is the most common form of stomach cancer. Everybody tells me that I should seek support. This way I can talk to people that are or have gone through the same things I am about to. I recently talked with the chemo oncologist and I understand that they will try to shink the tumor. Before they operate. I have not been scheduled for treatments yet but will be soon. I am sure that I will need to talk to people that have been through it. I don't want to ramble on and on. For now all I want to do is introduce myself.

Pauly, welcome to the Cancer Forums. I am very sorry that you have an adenocarcoma (sic. maybe adenocarcinoma??) of the stomach. Not knowing the exact chemotherapy your oncologist is planing to use, the rest sound normal... chemo+radiation followed be surgery. We are here for you so go ahead and post more about you, your case, and any questions you might have.
