Woman gets her stomach removed after shocking cancer diagnosis: "It was so bizarre and terrifying"

For those who are unaware of this, hereditary diffuse gastric cancer is basically an inherited disorder that quickly results in stomach cancer
PUBLISHED SEP 1, 2018

One of the things that Jessica Solt can never forget in her life is that one moment in 2016 when her doctor told her: “You can live without a stomach.” Solt was well into her happy life with her husband, Juan Pablo Horcasitas, and their then-14-month-old son, Martin, in New York City when she was diagnosed with hereditary diffuse gastric cancer.

For those who are unaware of this, hereditary diffuse gastric cancer is basically an inherited disorder that quickly results in stomach cancer. “It just seemed so shocking,” Solt said of the diagnosis to People magazine. “It was just so bizarre and terrifying. They were like, ‘Our recommendation is that you remove your stomach because you don’t know what’s going to happen. This is a very deadly kind of cancer and, once it starts spreading, there’s no way out.’ ”
