Had our ct scan results on Thursday, and news was not good, while my husband has had a chemo break since Jan 2nd, the cancer has progressed, so starting chemo again 8th may, this will be his 3rd line treatment, his first chemo was Sept 10. He has been feeling well, so we were hoping for the cancer to have remained stable, how daft are we. Again wishing you all the very best with your treatments.

    HIPEC
    is a surgical procedure for peritoneal mets. I don't know if you are eligible for this procedure but sure is worth looking into. Do some research. Lots of people on the Colon Club have had HIPEC very successfully.

    Best wishes - Tina

    HIPEC
    I've had HIPEC surgery, it's tough but doable. It's critical to find an experienced HIPEC surgeon to do the surgery, those that do have better outcomes. Good luck to you and your husband.
