I have recently been diagnosed following a hysterectomy and removal of my appendix in January.  A mucinous tumour of appendix had ruptured and caused another tumour of ovary and large cyst. I have been placed on watch and wait by Basingstoke team but told I will require HIPEC and surgery in future. Another CT scan in 6 months. I’m really terrified, unsure what the ‘wait’ might mean and what’s going to happen. Would just be good to talk to others who are also living this right now.
