Frank, don't ever let them tell you how long you'll live. It sounds like you've got a whole lot more than a year ahead of you. I was told in April that I would die from the cancer that had metastasized to my liver. Now I've undergone chemo (six of eight rounds) and I will have liver surgery this Spring. There is some degree of hope that I could be cured by surgery - if not, then at least I'm likely to increase my life expectancy.
Seems six round of chemo is a bit light for a guy who has been told he will die. Is your liver operable? Is the stomach cancer operable? Maybe time for second and third opinions. Please don't take the death sentence lying down (no pun intended).
Good luck, have hope.
