Hi all I am new to this forum so I hope to get to know some of you better and get to read your stories.

I am posting as I was diagnosed with pseudomyxoma peritonei in 2008 and wrongly given less than 3 months to live.

I would love to hear from anyone touched by this cancer. x

    Lack of knowledge
    Hi,

    I've not heard of it either. Would it be painful to talk about it?

    I'm an Appendix Cancer survivor
    tho not PMP. However, there is an excellent closed PMP/Appendix Cancer support group on FB, if either of you are interested.

    While I had mucinous adenocarcinoma, I did not have the belly-full of mucin common to PMP, just some small pools. I know that I had the same treatment at Memorial Sloan Kettering as my friend with PMP: debulking followed immediately by multiple courses of Intraperitoneal chemo (they don't do HIPEC there) followed by systemic chemo with Folfox.

    Is your PMP of appendix origin?
