Hi. I’ve just been told I have cancer in my peritoneum. I had treatment last year for cervical cancer that had spread to my ovary. It’s now back and is apparently incurable. My consultant has told me it is life limiting but that there are some options, although has ruled out more surgery and radio. I’m waiting to have a biopsy to determine whether the present cancer came from my cervix or ovary as this will influence what treatment they give me. Consultant did say it will likely be 6 rounds of chemo, one every three weeks of carboplatin and pacitaxel. Feeling utterly devastated and struggling to process as apart from a little abdo pain I feel well.
