Has anyone had colon cancer that has metastasized to the peritoneum that can share some positive recovery experience with me? I started immunotherapy yesterday and know it can be effective but feeling a little down and could use to hear some stories of recovery.

    I'm very sorry that you are dealing with this. I'm sure you have probably discussed this with your care team, but HIPEC might be an avenue worth pursuing. Decent outcome likely hood/ extension of life timelines are quite favorable when successful.

    Thank you! Yes, we've discussed HIPEC as a possibility after the Immuno. Right now praying the Immuno is working but won't know for sure until January after the PET. I appreciate your response.

    I’ve had colon cancer but it didn’t metastasize. I’m so sorry that you are having to go through this and I will be praying that the Immuno is working for you. Best wishes and Prayers. 🙏
