I suffered periodical severe abdominal pain and violent sickness from March 2024. In November 2024 I told My GP maybe my cancer had returned , had been successfully treated for ovarian cancer in 2012.
The GP said the Ultra Sound showed gallstones and the blood result (CA125. 42) was normal So I was referred to have my gallbladder removed.
I had my gallbladder removed on the 30th September 2025. The surgeon immediately informed me she was shocked to see Peritoneal cancer during the operation.
I have been offered weekly chemotherapy for 16 weeks. The same treatment I got in 2012 but was told I could not have an operation and I am very sad about that decision.
I have read recently Ovarian cancer has a 70-80% chance of reoccurrence I wish I had known that.
Hello Catherine (Catherined5d3c7)
I am Brian one of the Community Champions here on the online Community. I have just noticed your post has gone unanswered, so by me replying it will be "bumped up" to the top of the page and I hope seen and replied to by other members of the peritoneal group.
Reading your post it does look like "you have been through the mill" with your various cancer diagnosis. I do hope the chemotherapy goes well for you. You may wish to join our dedicated chemotherapy group and a link to this is here:
I wish you well moving forward.
Best wishes - Brian.
