@ncteacher , The docs can only give you an estimate based on past statistics, and some of the docs aren't as diligent about "keeping up with the latest" as others may be. Everyone is different, and so is their response. You -- yourself -- do not have to be just a statistic. You sound like a fighter, and I agree that you deserve a doctor who is as well.

If nothing else, just treating and managing the disease and staying healthy for a few more years might get you to the day when we see an actual cure.

@bobsrdoch , I'm really interesting in your experience with HIPEC. Is there another thread on the topic where I can start doing my homework? Otherwise, I have about a million questions I'd like to run by you.

I would also be interested in the HIPEC process. I just did a speedy Google search, and it sounds like something that could eradicate those tiny, flat lesions that scoot under the watchful eye of the CT. @bobsrdoch and @markymarkfl , if you all want to start another thread, I'd be interested to see what you've learned about this.

I'd be happy to join another thread and share my HIPEC experiences. I am working on the unabridged version of my story for the story keepers at Mayo and elsewhere ... I'll post it when i have it finished.
