    I also have spots on my peritoneum as well as secondary in Liver. I'm hopeful for surgery and have asked to be referred to a specialist liver team for further assessment. The impression I was getting from my oncologist that peritoneum is difficult to treat and from what I've read, I can see that too. There is a procedure called HIPEC but I think the patients suitable are carefully selected. Best of luck. This is a hellish disease
