The STOMACH Framework

A self-advocacy guide for navigating cancer treatment after stomach surgery

Dear Thrivers,

Navigating cancer treatment is complex enough, but when you add a history of stomach surgery to the mix, you require an extra level of coordination.

You need a practical way to ensure your oncology team sees the whole picture.

That’s where the STOMACH Framework comes in. This 9-page guide helps you notice what has changed, keep the relevant details together, and have clearer conversations with your oncology team.

Please note, this is not a diagnostic tool or a substitute for individual medical advice. Instead, the framework helps you bridge the gap between your past surgery and your current care, so you and your treating team can work together safely.

Print this out, fill in what you know, and let it guide the conversation at your next clinic visit.
