Bad Pathology Report
Oh Pat, I am SO sorry that the pathology report turned out so poorly for you. We had all hoped for better. I can't blame you for feeling numb and heartbroken.
Hot chemo is another way of saying Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy or HIPEC. It is usually used to treat cancer in the abdominal cavity such as colorectal cancer, ovarian cancer and cancer of the appendix. My understanding is that all visible tumors are surgically removed then the organs are bathed in a heated (108 degrees Farenheit) chemotherapy solution.
My thoughts are with you and your family as you try to come to grips with this news.

I'm so sorry
To hear your devastating news. I can imagine that you must be numb and totally confused/out of sorts. I hope that you can find some solace in the days to come and that you and your doctors come up with a plan of action to deal with this. Sending strength your way.

Pat,
Your news makes me heartsick. I'd so hoped for it to turn out to be something easy and benign. I can't even imagine all that's running through your head and heart right now. I'm sending a great big hug and extra energy your way as you process this and come up with your plan.
We're here.
xoxo

Oh Pat
I am so terribly sorry to hear this news. It just all seems so unfair that this could happen after so many years and you always doing everything the doctors told you to do. The description of the hot chemo that Jessie'smom posted sounds very effective and I pray for you that this is how you will hit your cancer again. I can't imagine what you are going thru right now, but we will be with you every step of the way as you FIGHT cancer for a second time...giving you a great big hug right now...Anna

oh Pat I am so so very sorry. You must just be reeling right now. Having just come onto the Breast board I know how very difficult it is to absorb the idea of a new cancer. Take your time dear Pat .....back to the old baby steps and one day at a time.
I have come over from the Colorectal Board.....if sometime later you want to explore some HIPEC stories you could go over over there and just enter HIPEC into the search line......I have never had that particular chemo but lots of people there have.....
just when you are ready Pat......keeping you in prayer....
big warm hugs, maggie
