My friend has been diagnosed with primary peritoneal cancer stage 4 and waiting for the Cytoresuctive surgery after 4 chemo.
Has anyone had cytoreductive surgery for stage 4 cancer? How did they cope after removal of various organs? Whixh organs were removed and which chemo did you have and how many before the surgery and were you BRAC positive?
Thank you in advance
