linitis plastica - Cancer: Colon Message Board

ro jenkins · 03-06-2001, 01:44 PM

I have just been told I have a very aggressive colon cancer - Linitis Plastica. There is no cure and I have about 2 to 5 years left. Are there any sites or places I can go to read about this or to see if there is any new research done in this area. Do I have any hope of living perhaps 10 years longer or so.

Many thanks for any help.

A link that I found was at [url="http://community.cancersource.com/eshare/server?action=190&PAGE=20&BOARD=45&ARTIC LE=719&EXPANDFULLY=1&EXPANDBRANCH=0&ASOR T=1&BSORT=1"]http://community.cancersource.com/eshare/server?action=190&PAGE=20&BOARD=45&ARTIC LE=719&EXPANDFULLY=1&EXPANDBRANCH=0&ASOR T=1&BSORT=1[/url] that discussed a bit of this. You could also look on [url="http://www.meds.com"]www.meds.com[/url] also for discussions.

Lastly, you could email into the Canadian Cancer Society, and perhaps they could give you more details on what treatments are available, at least in Canada, which may be available there.
