One of the cancers oncologists THINKS my mom has is primary peritoneal cancer. It's the one that made the most sense given her condition and test results. I looked up some information when they first suggested this, and I'd like to share it with you. Hope it's a good introduction to your journey!

I rec'd the same diagnosis in July 2012. Should your friend be interested, she can read about the course of my treatment at
www.CaringBridge.org/visit/CaroleSeaton
Not that my experience is at all typical...your friend can read here on this forum about other patients' stories too.
Good luck!

I appreciate you taking taking the time to reply to my post.
I visited your caringbridge site.
I am just so sorry you are going through this.
I was on the esophageal cancer board, I just recently lost my brother to that horrible cancer and now a dear friend has been diagnosed with this.
They have yet to receive biopsy reports to see if the cance began somewhere else first.
I would appreciate any information I can get.
I will add you to my prayer list.
