When you ask me how Stella is doing, I might answer you.
Or I might turn my back on you and scurry away.
Either way, you will have my answer.
So now I probably confused everyone.
Didn’t Stella have the miracle operation? What happened to “She will be cured, she will be cured……(breathe)?”
Yes, that IS still the hope. But it’s a bit more complicated than that. Let me explain.
There is only one known cure for stomach cancer. If the cancer is localized, then an operation in which the stomach is removed is performed.
On the other hand, if the cancer is determined to be inoperable, the cancer will spread throughout your system, even with aggressive chemotherapy. That is why gastric cancer is the second most lethal cancer in the world.
As far as I can tell, you have to fit into one of two categories to be eligible for this operation:
Either the cancer has to be caught relatively early, in Stage 1 or Stage 2. This is somewhat rare because the disease does not usually present symptoms until it has progressed.
Or you can be Stella.
