Introduction - recently diagnosed with PMP

Hi, I’m all new to this as I guess most people are. I was recently diagnosed with Psuedomyxoma peritoniei (PMP) following a routine hernia repair op. I have been referred to a hospital in Manchester and will find out what my pathway is on 8th September when I have my first consultation there. I have no pain, discomfort etc which makes the diagnosis all the harder to understand. Anyway that’s probably enough for an intro. 

  • Hello Mrxutu, 

    I am sorry to hear about your pseudomyxoma peritonei diagnosis and it must have been a bit of a shock to find out you had been diagnosed with this rare cancer following a routine hernia operation. I hope that you get a bit more clarity on the 8th September when you have your first consultation at the hospital. I am glad that you are not in any pain or discomfort at the moment and I hope that you find out more soon about your treatment plan. 

    You might be interested to read all the information we have on our website on pseudomyxoma peritonei and I hope that you will hear from other members of our community who have been diagnosed with PMP. I have had a little look around the forum for past threads from members who had had this diagnosis before and found this thread by  who was trying to reach out to others who had been diagnosed with PMP and you will find in that thread others who have been affected by PMP so don't hesitate to drop a line there if you wish to do so. 

    Best wishes,
