I have seen 1 other post about this but not sure how relevant it is to my situation. I have had bowel cancer starting feb 2018 which over the year has spread to my liver (well 1st resection was apparently not cancer) so unfortunately my chemo was stopped halfway through which i believe gave my cancer the opportunity to spread further. So next stop was an aggressive mass growing on my ovaries, doubling in size every 2 weeks! This was cut out. Next stop was my lungs and my liver (for real this time). After an unsuccessful lung ablation it was resected instead. Then they realised the liver ablation didn't seem to have fully worked either. So the decision was to resection again...a last ct scan done days before the op apparently showed some lesions on the peritoneal sac after i had been put under GA and was already on the operating table!
So the upshot is they took some biopsies and didn't resection the liver. Man i was confused when i came around.
The surgeon said they can't operate on the peritoneal sac. So i get the feeling i am going back on chemo. If it's the end of the line more or less i don't want to spend it on chemo.
My family have checked out something called Cytoreductive surgery combined with HIPAC which sounds promising
We have made initial enquiries into it. Looks like it has to be private...Christies in Manchester seems to have a good rep. Basically i don't want to spend loads of dosh on something that won't work...otherwise i can access my pension funds
So i have currently metastases to liver and peritoneal sac (and who knows what other bits lurking) and want to know if anyone else has a similar starting experience and what results they got
