My Peritoneal Cancer Diagnosis Journey
Hello all, I haven't posted in a while and I have not updated the various list. I have been blogging about my Peritoneal Cancer Diagnosis Journey. I call it a Journey because that is what it has been. I was diagnosed in 2/10, had my debaulking surgery late 2/10 and have been doing what I need to do to be here... Below is a…
Update
Hi all, Sorry I have been away for a bit but thought I would update on my progress. Having had my 6th round of chemo (carbo/taxol) a month ago my oncologist said he wanted me to have one more so I had that last Wednesday. I guess it is good insurance! I did find the last 3 rounds much harder to take but all worth it now it…
Bleed
Mum had a bleed last night, thankfully she was still in the hospice ( she was supposed to be going home next week ) It was quite a large bleed so obviously mum was very distressed by it, she has been given a sedation and they have stopped her blood thinners, they are also giving her something to try and stop it happening…

It seems it is something you can get within the…
Problems with constipation
Hi, sorry I've been AWOL but I have just come out of hospital. It appears that my cancer has continued to grow and I have an increased thickening throughout my peritoneum. Everything inside of my abdominal cavity appears to be squashed and this is causing me extreme discomfort and pain. I have chronic constipation that I…
Abdominal pain anyone else?
Hi all, Mum is having severe abdominal pain. Morphine and Oxynorm not working very well, just enough to get through. Med says her intestines has stopped working and not because og cancer cells blocking it but from not eating much and having her bag on her tummy has made her tummy inactive and now not working and with pain…
