treatment update
I was diagnosed with appendix cancer and pseudomyxoma peritonei in June after a
laparotomy
and I thought I would update everyone about what has happened since then.

Endo Cyst returned after laparotomy - on zoladex injections now
Hi I have done a
laparotomy
in April and after two months my endometriosis cyst returned - size 3.3cms. The doctor has put me on zoladex injection. My first injection was on 15 June and I had my menses on 6 July. Today I did my second injection.

Return to work any advice welcome!
Im 5 weeks on from my
laparotomy
and doing great. I have a diagnosis of Pseudomyxoma peritonei and will need another big op. I mentioned to my boss that I would like to get back to work 'when I recover' so she arranged an occupational health appointment for me for tomorrow.

Fantastic Chemo Response - Was it the Curcumin?
She had a
laparotomy
and her ovaries, tubes, womb & omentum were removed together with "kilograms" of tumour, but we told there was inoperable tumour remaining in the colon and spleen.

Endo and me the next round
This now means that it could be a laprascopy but most probably a
laparotomy
to look at my bowel and get rid of the other regrowths.

Looking for support and encouragement
She had a
laparotomy
on 7th October for a hysterectomy, omentectomy and appendicectomy and is recovering before starting some more chemotherapy. It has been devastating for her and for the whole family. The prognosis given was 50/50 and we still dont know what the outcome will be.
