    Hi everyone!
    If you search under HIPEC in the topics you will find a previous thread in which there are also actual videos of the cyto-reduction and HEPIC procedure. I'm sorry but, I'm too tired and it's late here or I would paste the link.

    Good luck to all preparing for the procedure!

    My life after hipec. HELP

    Hello I had hipec on July 24 2017. I spent 6 weeks in hospital afterwords but went home feeling fine. 

    That being said I got full really fast. But as time went on I am now at the point, that I cannot eat!!

    i am now back in hospital. I get naseaus and vomit phlegm and good every meal. 

    They have tried me in mexaran and now motilium. It isn’t helping. It seems as if I am wasting away. I’m 80lbs lighter than before my surgery. The day before my surgery I could eat like a horse. Now I can finish a piece of toast without vomiting. 

    Does anyone have this or have had this that can shed any light on my situation? I’ve been in hospital now since dec 14. Getting nervous now. I’ve had light down. They said everything is fine. 

     

    Please help!
