Peritoneal cancer anyone ?

Hi has anyone been diagnosed with peritoneal cancer at all ? 

  • Hello Missdiagnosis,

    A warm welcome to Cancer Chat and I hope you will manage to reach out to others who have been affected by peritoneal cancer on here. You can do a little search via our forum search toolbar - by entering keywords e.g. peritoneal cancer in the 'search forum' option in the blue bar above so do give it a go to find others in a similar situation to yourself.

    I had a little look for you and found for example this thread by [@Toddygirl]‍ which may be of interest to you so feel free to respond to it if you want. I hope you'll hear soon from [@Toddygirl]‍ or others who have been affected by this rare cancer.

    Our nurses are also available on this free number 0808 800 4040 if you live in the UK  - their lines are open Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5pm so if you have any specific questions about peritoneal cancer, don't hesitate to give them a ring.

    Best wishes,

    rare they say

  • I have peritoneal cancer which has spread to my bowel.  I cannot be cured but am receiving palliative care which essentially aims to keep me comfortable.  I am pleased to answer any questions you may have if I can of course.  Am currently on pain killers and hormone drugs and have had chemo but it did not agree with me.  Hope you can stay calm and positive.
