Hi all, 

I'm a 40 year old mum of a five year old. 

I've recently been told i have a rare aggressive cancer, luckily it was in my appendix which was removed last December. The hospital have recommended surgery to remove my ovaries and omentum and HIPEC as a preventive measure. Anyone got any knowledge in this area, tips for dealing with the unknown etc.

I'm feeling incredibly lucky that they found it, i have clear margins but obviously scared for the future, menopause, recovery etc.
