Has anyone had a HIPEC procedure?

I am currently in the HIPEC trial. I am fortunate in that I live relatively close to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester. I had six months of what was termed as "agressive" chemotherapy. The results from that were VERY good. I am now in the radiation phase which is three weeks of daily radiation (5 days a week). My last CA-19 was at 23. The blood test for that was last week.

I will be doing a laproscopy next month followed by the main surgery in mid-October. Again, so far so good.

@bradyb that is awesome! I’m guessing they are doing radiation to the pancreatic tumor, not the peritoneal mets? So great to hear you are doing well.

@bradyb, how are you doing on radiation? Any sie effects?
