I had HIPEC on Jan 9th of
I had HIPEC on Jan 9th of this year. It is a very tough surgery and still have not recovered completely.
Unfortuantely for me, my cancer is back and I will start chemo again on April 17th.
There is a part of me that wishes I had never done it however I would have always wondered if I had done all I could to beat this.
If you have any questions, you can inbox me. I will be happy to help however I can.0 -

I'm sorry to hear the cancer is back jmaddox. Where did it come back if you don't mind me asking? I had HIPEC last December, and no systemic chemo for now. I had a CT that was good but had mystery spot anterior to the liver. Doc wants me back in 3 months to see if any changes. But hopefully it's scar tissue.
I hope you are doing ok and the chemo gets it. I've heard of someone having HIPEC 3 times and cancer free after 3 times!0 -

It came back in my abdomen where they had removed a tumor during HIPEC. Also a new tumor developed on my left kidney and I have to go in next week for a stint that will result in me wearing a bag for a while.
I can't imagine going through HIPEC 3 times. I had this in January and I still struggle with my energy, etc.
It does sound like you are doing well and I am happy to hear that. Where did you get your HIPEC done?0 -
GoBucks...deciding to doGoBucks said:Doesn't Anyone Have Any Positive Stories
Doesn't anyone have any positive stories or advice, I'm really struggling that the only response I got is not positive.
GoBucks...deciding to do HIPEC is a very personal decision. You have to remember everyone is different and I am sure there are some positive stories. As a matter of fact, CBS news ran a story on "hot chem" or HIPEC right before I had my surgery and the two people they interviewed was very positive. I think if you go to Youtube and look up Hot Chemo CBS News, you can see the report.
I don't regret doing it. If I had not done it, it would have always haunted me if I had done all I could. I don't want to leave anything on the table. Who knows, I may end up doing it again if my doctors feel it is a viable option for me.
I believe in prayer and in my case, I felt like God led me to this path. If you are a believer, pray about it, ask for wisdom and guidance. He won't let you down.0 -

I think you and I may be in the same boat. I do feel like God has led me to this path. I think it is my best chance. Thanks0 -

Thanks-I got mine done at Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale Arizona with Dr. Wasif. I liked him a lot-saw me every day including Christmas. I hope things get better for you. I can't imagine 3 HIPEC surgeries either...not even sure my surgeon would do that.0 -
Hi, My Rick had HIPEC
Hi,
My Rick had HIPEC surgery in December 2010, although the cancer came back in April 2011. He was supposed to have another HIPEC surgery last Monday, but the cancer took off during the three month break and spread more around the peritoneal cavity, pelvis and liver, so the surgery was cancelled. Even though HIPEC didn't work for him, it doesn't mean that it won't be successful for you, everyone is different. In any case, if you'd like more information on what you may expect after surgery, send me a note and I'll give you a seven day diary of his surgery and subsequent recovery in the hospital and at home.
All my best,
Cynthia0
