It took my team almost 3 months after initial debulking surgery to decide my primary was appendiceal not ovarian. A very nervous wait. I then had 6 months of Folfiri + Avastin then HIPEC + Cytoreductive surgery + Peritonectomy. I’ve been NED for 2 years since HIPEC. Don’t be scared of HIPEC etc if you get a good surgeon who has done it a lot. While it was major invasive surgery it is very much worth it if you qualify. The pain management in hospital is great. My surgery was 12 hours including the 3 hours of hot chemo and I then spent about 5 days in ICU and 4 on the general ward. They got me moving the day they woke me up and that movement helps with recovery. All the best!
