[|Human|] Sir, my father had last month had total gastrectomy done with roux en Y esophagojejunostomy with FJ as he had poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma with extensive neuroendocrine , gastroesophageal junction with metastasis to regional lymph nodes 6-7. Pls tell us what are chances and how long can we extend him without chemo or radio therapy. Can we give him good food supplements to pass his time.
[|AI|]  Hi, Thanks for writing in. Your father has a poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma with extensive neuroendocrine tumor which is a difficult cancer to treat. This is a hormone secreting tumor. Surgery is not enough to control this tumor and even with chemotherapy and radiation therapy the survival is till 2 years. Without chemotherapy and radiation therapy the patient might survive for 6 months to a year. It is difficult to exactly predict the survival but usually the cancer spreads and the general health deteriorates over time. Healthy food supplements might be given by due to his stomach surgery it is better to give him regular small feeds. Please do not worry.
