Hi everyone

I've recently been diagnosed with stage 4 goblet cell carcinoma of the appendix which has also spread to me ovaries and peritoneum.

I am due to start 6 months chemo in a couple of weeks and have been referred to Basingstoke to be considered for surgery.

I'm 53 years old and have 14 and 18 year old sons.

I also have rare appendix cancer diagnosed a year ago. After 6 months FOLFOX chemo I had surgery at Basingstoke 6 weeks ago and am recovering at home. They removed 2 large masses which were my ovaries and part of my omentum. I also had HIPEC treatment whilst in surgery. They were unable to remove all the cancer so I am starting on Capeciteben tablets next week. If you have surgery at Basingstoke and want any more info I am happy to chat about it. Also would be interested to know if anyone can give me their experiences of oral chemo especially capecitebene. Thanks.
