2 months agoTreatment decisions can feel overwhelming, especially when facing such a challenging diagnosis. Beyond chemotherapy, stage 3 gastric cancer treatment options may include surgery, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, or targeted therapy, depending on specific circumstances. Each person's situation is unique, and what works best varies from case to case. Consider discussing all available options with your oncology team, including getting a second opinion if that would help you feel more confident in your path forward. Many community members here have navigated similar difficult treatment decisions and may share their experiences if you're looking for support during this time.
