Upcoming HIPEC and ovary removal - has anyone had this done and have any advice? I'm so worried

I'm due to have my ovaries and omentum removed soon and then HIPEC the same day. Does anyone have any advice, words of wisdom, etc. 

I'm worried about so many things, but i know this is needed to stop the spread of goblet cell adenocarcinoma they found in my appendix last year. 

Any guidance appreciated. 

Thanks

  • I'm sorry to hear how worried you are about your upcoming surgery Gobletgirl08.

    Having any kind of major surgery is always scary but we are sending you all our support and hopefully some of our members who have had this done will share their experiences and advice with you soon.

    If it would help to talk things through with one of our cancer nurses, they're just a phone call away on 0808 800 4040. Their phone lines are open Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m and they will do all they can to address your concerns and put your mind at ease.

    Good luck Gobletgirl08. We hope your surgery goes well and we'll be wishing you a safe and speedy recovery.
