Hi everyone, went for my scan results last Monday excepting to be given the clear results but no was told I'm been referred for hipec surgery because of microscopic disease in my peritoneal I wS shocked! I've been a mess since to tell you the truth and don't know what to think. The doctor said its very hard to treat so is they anymore else with a similar diagnosis? Xx
Hi
So , so sorry to read you have a recurrence. Completely understandable that you needed time to process that type of information!
If I remember correctly you had a clear scan not so long ago so hopefully this has been caught quite early and can be nipped in the bud ! It also appears you have a low volume of tumour in that your being referred straight to surgery !
In the U.K. they still operate with curative intent so hand onto that . I have been in touch with people over the years who continue to do well after hipec ! In fact a few years after surgery one became a daddy and enjoying that aspect of life !
Any time you need to chat just pop on we are here to get you over this bump and back on the road to recovery !
Take care ,
Court
