stomach cancer

My Husband is 48 and diagnosed with stomach cancer. Because it was found in his supraclavicular lymph node (left breastbone area) it was staged at stage IV and no surgery is being done , just chemo. Any chance of remission?

Hi vwaldean. I am very sorry about your husband's cancer. I know little about stomach cancers so I cannot give you a specific answer to your question. I hope the chemo does but his cancer into remission.

You and your father are in my thoughts and prayers.

My husband received induction chemotherapy for stage IV GE junction adenocarcinoma which was also spread to the supraclavicular lymph nodes. His PET scan after induction chemotherapy was completely negaative. He just completed radiation and weekly chemo last week. Remission is possible. Stay positive.
