Thank you for your story. You inspired me. I, too, have peritoneal cancer stage 4, diagnosed 2 years ago. Initial prognosis not good. I thought, prayed a lot about life, death, God, family. Radiation and chemotherapy were an agonizing part of my existence as were complications requiring hospitalizations.
Now on break from treatment, I am slowly regaining strength. I don't look the same, can't do much that I could before. I am content to live a quiet life, enjoying small pleasures. I feel blessed to have this time to be with my husband who has Alzheimers. As another wrote here, this helps us to appreciate life. So many entered my life to help me. Gratitude has taken on a new meaning.
My heart and prayers go out to you.
Hi Colleen,
Thank you for asking and for your response.
Today I am fine, more independent each day. Treatment break has been 20 months. I am followed with PET scans. I will have one tomorrow. I feel blessed.

Hi @mamqtz, how good to hear that @danyeltardy12's story encouraged you to share yours here too.
How long will you be on a treatment break? How are you doing today?
