Hi elle - me, too. HIPEC is evidently pretty difficult to get through, and the side effects are sometimes not worth the benefit. I'm 69 with a pace-maker, and they basically said "no way". That being said, I've done extremely well on my chemo - I had four rounds of chemo and at this point my CA125 is 17, and all the metastasis are GONE. My CT results show absent, resolved, greatly diminished, etc. Very positive response, so I didn't really need the HIPEC. I was totally campaigning for it, but now I see that I did just as well without it. Best of luck to you - at this point you must be on the other side of your treatments - How ya doing?
