- About me:
- In June 2009 I was diagnosed with a rare abdominal cancer-Pseudomyxoma Peritonei (PMP). At the time I was told that one person in every million per annum would be diagnosed with the disease. Because of the rare nature of the cancer and the specialist techniques involved in treating it there are only two specialist centre's in the UK that treat PMP- The Christie in Manchester and Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital. I was treated at the latter and underwent full cytoreductive surgery on 2nd Feb 2010. I spent 12hrs in theatre, a week in intensive care and then just over a week on the speacialist PMP HDU ward C2. In Feb 2010 I had my first annual scan and was given the all clear... Throughout my experience from diagnosis to present day I have kept a blog recording my experiences,thoughts and feelings as honestly as possible.
