Hello there and thanks for the post

I am sorry to hear you have a pseudomyxoma Peritonei (PMP) and appreciate you having some questions.

It is good to hear you have been seen at one of the specialist centres dealing with this rare type of cancer. As you can read on the about cancer pages of the website about PMP about treatment, there are instances where patients are put on a watch and wait (also known as active surveillance) pathway to have the condition monitored over a period of time.

It is reassuring to hear that the mucin production seems to have decreased since the operation and this may have been down to the surgery itself and the removal of the appendix where the PMP originated from. Now that that has been removed and if there is little else present in the abdominal cavity to increase production of the mucin, then these levels may continue to drop.

I hope this makes sense but if you remain concerned or have more questions specific to your situation they are probably best answered by the team at Basingstoke, as the experts in this field.

I wish you all the best

Naomi
