Living with Stomach Cancer

My name is Sgt Reginald J Tyler Sr ( US Army RET) I joined the army in 1978 and remained on active duty until 1994 after which i joined the National Guard. In Audgust 2002 my unit was called to active. After being checked at Walter Read in Dc, I was found to have Gastric Cancer stage II.

On Oct 22nd 2002 i had 80% of my stomach removed, followed by two years of chemo and radiation combined. 7yrs later I’am still here and blessed by GOD. If you would like to know how i made it and some of the things that help you make it though just contact me and i will tell you.

I now weigh 123 lbs and am able to eat just about anything i would like to. A couple of good things to do is if you have surgery keep a heating pad on as much as possible, eat soft foods like crabs or crab legs (filling but not hard on the digestive tract) I am now 100% retired/disabled and God has kept me here to talk to and help as many people as possible. So if you need someone who has been there and is still here to help others make it though drop me a line and i will respond.

ALWAYS REMENBER ” God is in charge and when he’s ready for you there is nothing man can say or do” so put it in his hands and he will never put more on you than what you can handle. GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
