12 days agoMy mother is in her 90’s and diagnosed in October with stomach cancer. Her first round of immunotherapy didn’t go well. Is anyone aware of any other treatment other than chemo? She is very frail and very sensitive to most medications.

12 days agoTreatment options for elderly patients with stomach cancer can include palliative care focused on comfort and quality of life, radiation therapy for symptom management, or supportive care measures that help manage pain and other symptoms without aggressive treatments. Many oncologists work closely with geriatric specialists to create gentler treatment plans tailored specifically for frail patients, so discussing these alternatives with the medical team could help identify the most appropriate path forward that prioritizes comfort and well-being.
