Have bowel cancer with spread to the liver. Has anyone heard of chemo saturation and chemo baths and where we can get this done? Currently at the Christie in Manchester and would like to ask about these treatment as the cancer is spreading.
If anyone knows anything, would love to hear from you.

While you're waiting for replies, it would be great if you could put something about your diagnosis and treatment into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway.

Hi SamBxox
Are you thinking of Hipec and Pipac ?
Are you a candidate for liver resections ?
Some people use Hipec if it has spread to the stomach lining . Christie’s certainly used to be on the ball with adding in other options where possible . Certainly it used to be that each centre had a slightly different criteria and volume of disease .
One other lady sent a request to Mr Murphy to review her scan and was pleased with the speed and manner he got back to her . I think he does nhs and private work but if you google his name and Hipec you will be able to find out more relevant information .
You are entitled to a second opinion and there is no harm in getting answers to the questions in your mind .
I wish you every success ,
