Has anyone had a HIPEC procedure?

Posted by gsterle @gsterle, Dec 21, 2025

I was diagnosed with ACINAR pancreatic cancer in September 2023 I had a distal, pancreatectomy, and splenectomy and unfortunately, I had metastases to the liver. Chemo treatments shrank the liver tumors however I have spread to my peritoneal lining in my stomach. Is HIPEC an option? As I am running out of chemotherapy

I’m doing great! And living my best life. Your mom will too!
HIPEC saved my life and it can save hers as well. Keep thinking positive thoughts. I’m sending you all positive healing energy.

@marymichaels Thanks again for the encouragement and positive words! Mom is scheduled for CRS/HIPEC at 8AM tomorrow. She’s ready to get it over with and also nervous! You probably felt the same. Best to you and hope you’re still doing well.
