So, monday my colorectal nurse called and said that my surgeon wanted to see me 2 days later

Ive always been given good news over the phone so I was understandably worried 

My surgeon told me I have bilateral krukenberg tumours and needed a pet scan to see if its spread. I know that they're rare, but what scares me more than anything is the poor prognosis.

She has said that I will need Cytoreduction surgery with HIPEC. 

Im in bits, but I'm more worried about my daughter and partner, they've been through so much with me and they are both struggling with this news.

Has anyone else here had these tumours? I just need answers on prognosis and what i can do to help my family
