Reserved Memories - The Story Of My Stomach Cancer

[@NS1973]

It is with great sadness I regret to inform everyone that Jay Seals passed October 31, 2018 Thank you all for your support and understanding. Tori Seals (Jay's wife)

[@Munsjvc2]

TheNightShadow I’m sorry. I wish I had better words.

[@shukuratulilah]

My condolences

[@traceyesste2271]

My condolences Mrs. Seals and family.

I am so sorry. I was treated for breast cancer in 2017 and 18 but I think it has spread to my stomach. I have had issues since the beginning, but I was "fat" so losing weight wasn't considered a problem. I will know in a week or so, but I'm pretty sure it has spread.

[@agskater1914]

Jay Seals is posthumously helping me fight a binge eating addiction, thank you and rest is peace

[@russellereese]

Thanks for sharing Mr Seals. My wife was recently diagnosed with stomach cancer and we're just starting our fight. I hope we can face it as bravely as you.

[@andreac980]

How is she going?

[@letang6772]

The gross negligence is astounding and unacceptable. Doctors get away with murder, no wonder many of them are so despicably arrogant

[@morganjames5180]

So sorry to hear of all the disgusting neglect Jay had from Military. Jay sounds so bitter and angry , kept saying the word YAY with great sarcasm . 😳😳😳😳I dont blame him at all. From 2cm tumor to 20 cm ! in such a short time. ! Doctors can be so cruel , and even un my experience they never own up to serious mistakes that are life changing to patients. . Sorry to hear he passed away a year later.....Senfing much love and strength to his family and friends. Bless you all. 💚💚💚💚

[@morganjames5180]

@@tnecniv1124 I assume he was in his 40s . So sad ..still very young.

[@mariongonzales1386]

This is very sad I’m sitting here crying how could this happen to somebody nice and hard-working like he was and his death was not his fault it could’ve been avoidedThis man’s life was stolen he could have live another 40 years

Right behind you brother. See you soon glory be to God

Keeping you and your family in my prayers. I hope you are sucessful in getting the information about the burn pits out so that something can be done to change the way it's handled. I had no idea that was even happening as I'm sure many don't. It will definilty become a talking point for me with others to help bring up awareness of what is happening and look into how else I can get the word out.

Hello my friend. Thank you for your story. I have been sick for the past several months. I have pain daily in my stomach and am being treated for h pylori bacteria which is a main cause for gastric cancer. I am a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ. I invite you to know Him. 🙏😊

[@claudiaabadia9300]

Hi Jay, tomorrow I am going to get full gastrectomy. It will be a challenge but nothing compared to your story. I keep going back to your story because there is so much neglect from your doctors and truly hope your story reaches others and become aware of incompetency in the medical field. I hope you can sue those people for the sake of your family. I wish you well.

[@NS1973]

Unfortunately, due to something called the Feres Doctrine, which prevents Soldiers from suing the Army, I cannot pursue legal action. My wife has other venues to pursue, however- it's complicated. I hope your gastrectomy went smoothly!

[@claudiaabadia9300]

Hi Jay, I hope you are doing good as well as you family. I can totally see your frustration. I survived cancer 8 years ago, had a partial gastrectomy... last week I was told I have it back. I wish you the best and your family. Thank you for sharing your story..

[@chwaqasazam9240]

What stage you are in ?

[@pascalw.paradis8954]

Think I have tummy C too. At 64 I had a good ride. Nobody lives forever. But 45 is to young buddy. G🌎D Bless

[@julieb8668]

What happened to you is inexcusable, the army should be held responsible

[@dianasoto7011]

My daughter was living in Mexico, she went to many Dr's, but they all said she was fine. All they did was give her antibiotics for H. Pylori and Prilosec, this went on for over 2 years, then she started getting weirder and weirder symptoms, and the Dr's gave her the same meds. About a month ago she started having bleeding in her stomach, she thought it was a bleeding ulcer, and just kept taking the meds, and didnt go to the hospital, and she really should have. 3 days later, she died, of stomach cancer, and maybe metasticised in other organs, she was 44 yrs old, and my heart is broken. I begged her to come home to the US and get checked here, she refused, she didnt think it was serious, just acid reflux and a stomach ulcer, it would come and go, until about the last 3 months. My daughter had a very high tolerance for pain, and that is why she didnt feel the pain very much until 4 days before she died. By then, it was far too late, even tho we didnt know it. I miss my baby. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭The funny(not funny) thing is, I worried she would get Covid and die, because she didnt get the vaccine, she got Covid, at least twice, and that didnt do anything, she was fine, until March 10th, I still cant believe shes gone. 😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@NewAccountWhoDis]

Oh my goodness 😔 I am so sorry. That's how my story started but it has been 4 years and I just started getting the advanced symptoms. I went to my doctor every two weeks and often more

[@cameinyourface1351]

This is absolutely horrible. I am so sorry

[@jenniferthompson6280]

so very sorry, my daughter is having symptoms and the dr is sending her to the stomach specialist , i'm sorry your daughter didn't get the same care...

Do you have family history of the disease in your family?

[@Wildchildinc]

It really disappoints me when some doctors brush over things that can possibly catch cancer's earlier.

[@Doesntmatter20]

I think the medical world in incapable of diagnosing early as they are only able to cure what is really really obvious .... curative care instead of preventive or early stages of ailments that can become dangerous and life threatening and I think they don’t care 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@chadwick283]

RIP 🙏🙏🙏

[@robertawesterberg3567]

Tingling sensation in fingers/toes. My tumor was 5cm/bleeding/fungus & esophagus. When there was talk about taking out my stomach, I refused. I am two years into the diagnosis.

[@liliyaponomarenko7821]

i had surgery 2017 September removed total stomach .

[@davidwallace8353]

I learned I possibly had cdh1 gene when I was on a facebook call with my 33 cousins . I went to my gp and she sent me for genetic testing. I was positive. I then decided that I might be among the 20% who would not get stomach cancer. So they scanned me every 6 months. In July 2021 I was diagnosed with stomach cancer. In Sept 2021 my stomach was removed. I get scanned every 6 months and am cancer free so far.

[@rickcarter2314]

So sorry for all you and Jay have had to walk through Tori.

[@DannyB-cs9vx]

I am just starting the journey. Over the years I have worked with toxic substances through welding and brazing at work. The thing is, that so many people get stomach cancer that have never been exposed to anything toxic. Maybe it was cooking with Teflon that got too hot, aluminum, or a thousand other things. Why were not the lungs effected first. So the bottom line is nobody knows what causes it. Trying to find the villain that caused it is probably a futile endeavor that leaves us feeling like the victim of something that we can point to. I had an endoscopy done at the beginning of the year They said there was signs of irritation in the stomach but could not determine the cause. So about 8 months later I am going in for another endoscopy in 4 days to see if it has become cancerous. I found this video by looking for info about it. As odd as it is I talked with another guy tonight who said he was in constant fear of dying from something. I told him we are all going to die from something, and fear was a way to victimize ourselves before that happens. I wish us both the very best quality of life before we maybe meet on the other side.

[@carolinekellum1]

I lost my sister to that.she kept being fobbed off with ibs!eventually in 2016 she was diagnosed and had her whole stomach removed November that year.she had 6 bouts of chemo and umpteen tablets which made her very ill and weak,during 2017,then January 2018 she was told she was terminal and passed March 7th.xx

[@allans.9754]

Jay - I am so sorry to hear this and I send you my empathy and my energy to you in the hope that you won’t feel alone. I came to watch this video because I had a similar story in 2015. I had meckel diverticulum and I also had that tube to suck the food out of my stomach. Three years later, I am still afraid because I don’t trust American gp’s. I hope you know that your love for lie will be rewarded with something much better.

It's 5 years old, he passed away not too long after this video.

[@clancycreations]

@@RuckFussiaThank you for letting us know. Very sad. My Dad was in USAF during Vietnam and agent orange was used on his base for clearing vegetation and treating dogs. Still, he was not included in Va lawsuits and whatnot as only 2-3 (I can’t remember) bases where acknowledged for having agent orange. He suffered a long 15+ years at stage 4 prostate and bone cancer. 💜

Bs they let you down like that. You should have been informed immediatly of the mass in stomach

Vaud a form of National Healthcare and so many think that is what the U.S. should have. I have seen so many cancer stories in countries that have National Healthcare and people were tired of waiting so long to see specialists or the long waits for CT, ultrasounds or MRI’s and had to go to private healthcare where they were immediately taken care of
