Hot chemotherapy for late-stage cancers Sep 14 1:27am | By Jennifer O'Hara (@jenohara)Comment receiving replies
Dr. Grotz performed my HIPEC procedure for my Stage 4 grade 2 mucinous adenocarcinoma of the appendix. I've been NED since, going on 3 1/2 years.

@dvosburg I don’t really know why my oc at Vanderbilt didn’t do HiPEC after my initial surgery . I even mentioned that I had read about it online and then was told she didn’t know about it maybe I didn’t pronounce right or she didn’t understand what I was talking about idk ? But I remember her saying that and this was Vanderbilt a cancer hospital ?! I had stage 3 peritoneal too and now still fighting it with drugs. And last time it chemo didn’t work like it did before during surgery. Idk if it’s my age over 60 or not either. When I mentioned it another time and ask she said it’s not for me or weren’t work for me idjk but my other Local OC nurse I see there told me I should try it so I’m confused

Welcome @dvosburg. No evidence of disease (NED) is always great to hear about. I'd like to invite you to share more about what the HIPEC procedure was like in any of these HIPEC related dicussions:

How did you feel right after the procedure?
