Hi my name is Cassie. I was diagnosed with PMP in 2018 after a misdiagnosis of ovarian cancer the previous year. I underwent CRS and HIPEC in May 2018. I have just found out about a recurrence (April 2020) and we’re monitoring the situation for now.

I feel well and life is good.

Hi, my name is Lauren I was diagnosed in 2018 and had CRS and HIPEC 4 weeks later. I had recurrence the following year and recently left a 6 week stint in hospital following my second operation. They weren’t able to remove all of the disease this time so I was be trying chemotherapy soon. For now I am feeling grateful for what I have and planning some nice things for when lockdown is over!!

Good luck with your next treatment Rosa20. I hope you can still do some of the things you love at the moment even if you are a bit restricted.
