I have breast cancer metastasis to the peritoneal lining. Diagnosed February, 2026.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

@brendaae My husband's cousin has peritoneal cancer also. It metastasized from the arm of a robot that was used to remove her stage 1 endometrial cancer. She has been treated with hormone therapy (femara and letrazole?, I believe). The nine lesions are no longer visible on a CT scan. I believe this was an experimental protocol developed and written about by MD Anderson in Houston. I think the physician's name is Soliman? This cousin is very pleased.

@hsminc Hello:
Thank you for your message to me. If you know, did your husband's cousin have fluid buildup in the lining that needed to be occasionally drained? Brenda

@brendaae I never heard that she did. However, her peritoneal lining seems to be very weak and she has had multiple hernias with the bowel breaking through to the skin and with the one, it has breached the skin. This has set up a skin infection that requires daily treatment. A nurse comes to the home a couple of times a week.
All of this from a stage 1 endometrial cancer. It has truly been a nightmare but she handles it well.

Thank you, for your thorough and fast response! I am so sorry this is happening. Please tell her to be strong and believe she will get better. I need to get fluid drained from my peritoneal lining every ten days - sometimes, five liters, which is a lot of fluid. Anyway, I appreciate your sharing and if you have any other information in the future, please share and I will do the same. Brenda
