Condition of stomatch cancer
Jamie Solano
For my pathology project i chose to interview a woman suffering with the condition of stomatch cancer. My interviewe is a 61 year old woman who was diagnosted when she was 60, this past december. Before client A was diagnost there where a few events leading up to this condition. Client A was having alot of gallbladder problems, as well as having a hernia on her right abdomin side. After seeing the doctor she had to have her gallbladder removed in the 90s due to gain green, which is an infection. She did also have a mesh done on her hernia, which led to surgery but has not gone away. she still deals with the hernia which is still protruding again. Because of having two surgreys done it has effected her kidneys and now one kidney has shriveld up and is being looked at to eventually be removed. Before actually being diagnost with stomatch cancer, she wasnt feeling well, her skin started to take on a yellowish pale color. she started noticing she was having a much difficultier time breathing. She was having such a hardb time breathing that it got to the point where she could hardly stand or even walk two feet without feeling the sensation of passing out. She started to notice she was always feeling exhausted, she never had any evergy, and was loosing weight significantly. she felt she was exhausted beyond belief from not doing any activity. Finally she decided to go to the doctors because she was getting worried. The doctors found that she was very anemic and had been suffering from a significant amou nt of blood loss with no open wounds. The doctor decided to infuse her with bags of bloood to the the anemia under control. the doctor felt it was best to do a MRI first and secondly a pet scan to find out what was causeing such a significant amout of blood loss. After the testing the doctor noticeds that there was a grey shadow in the pet scan in her abdomin area. They continued to do more testing and found that it was cancer of the stomatch.
