How bad are chemo side effects with radiation for stomach cancer?

Just finished the 6th round of chemo I also get a big bolas dose and a chemo pump that gives me another 46 hours of chemo at home . This round was rough almost as bad as my first dose . Nausea , bad diarrhea , my toes won’t stay warm . I start radiation in about 2 weeks along with my chemo I’m a little scared to have worse symptoms adding the radiation because my cancer is in my stomach that’s where it will all be pin pointed for treatment .

What treatments work for gastric cancer and what should I know early on?

I was recently diagnosed with gastric cancer in October 2025. I came across some research about a new marine-derived compound called Penicolinate H that shows promise against gastric cancer by targeting how cancer cells produce the fats they need to survive. It's still in early research stages and would need clinical trials before becoming available, but it represents the kind of innovative treatment approach that could be options in the future. I'd love to connect with others who have gastric cancer and hear about your experiences. • What treatments have you tried and how did they work for you? • What do you wish you had known early in your journey with gastric cancer?

Should I have my stomach removed after immunotherapy for gastric cancer?

My name is is Julie. I was diagnosed with stage 2-3 gastric adenocarcinoma in August 2025. The doctor said I had the good kind of cancer because I was missing 2 proteins, MMR deficient, cancer cells that respond to immunotherapy and not to chemo. Quite honestly I would never take chemo anyway because it kills the good cells with the bad cells. I am on a strict diet to boost my immune system to help fight off my stomach tumor. I have 2 immunology treatments left. It should get rid of all the tumor. They say the next step is taking out my entire stomach. Not sure I will let them do that. Stomach removal is a life changing event. No real evidence I have found that removing your stomach will prevent cancer from coming back to another organ. Still trying to decide. Guess I will wait for my PET scan in a month.
