A million questions, and a whole community of people who are living normally post “TG” (total gastrectomy). Here is the place to ask advice at every stage of the surgery: before, during hospitalization, and after. |

“What?!? You can feel “normal” again?” Yes, you can! The burning question for those contemplating TG: How will my life change? Share how your life has changed – for better or for worse. Diet & nutrition are key to a successful pre-and-post-gastrectomy life, but another area where information is sparse. Chat here with others for their tips and advice. There is no question that’s too simple (or stupid, or silly, or unimportant) to ask here! |

The loss of a person you love who has had stomach cancer is tragic and can be even more profound when other family members are also at risk. And losing your beloved involves a journey which others can help to guide and support. |
