Wow. Thank you for talking about this to me. Very scary, but you got through all right. It helps to hear this. I already had debulking surgery but it sounds like I might need it again BEFORE HIPEC. Will see when I actually talk to the doctors. Very hard waiting as you said. Best to you too!

Just to remember your initial surgeon didn’t do anything wrong: I too started off with a gynaecologist surgeon. One of the best. Once the cancer has spread out from the primary site it is so difficult to tell the difference between ovarian and appendiceal cancers, even with biopsies etc. The treatment course is different though. My surgeon worked with a peer group at my hospital on the biopsy results and genome sequencing to make the call before referring me to an oncologist. Everything moved very very fast from there and I started fortnightly chemo and immunotherapy with a 46 hour take home pump (with colon cancer protocols) a week after my port was installed. Please do keep us updated with your journey 🙏❣️
