Stage 4 secondary peritoneal cancer

I've just been diagnosed with stage 4 secondary peritoneal cancer, which has spread through the blood from the cervical cancer i had.

Im going to be having 6 cycles of chemo, but they've said they are aiming for containment rather than cure.

If anyone Is going or have gone through this I would be so grateful to hear from you
