More bad news on here today Cathie eh. So sorry to hear your news too.

Anne I think the issue with peritoneal is that there are so many organs in close proximity that arresting it is nigh on impossible.

Aw dear, such a sad time for so many lately.

so sorry for your loss, terribly upsetting time for you. I had a similar phone call last week, my sister in her 50's has been told she has less than a year, was only diagnosed last week and nothing they can do, her IBS masked the symptoms, it has gone from her bowels to both kidneys, upper gut and pancreas.

she has written a list of things she wants to do, I just hope she gets the time to do them all.

That's sad news Cathie, I hope your sister manages to tick all the boxes on her list and more. Best wishes.

so sorry to hear about your sister in law Mrs Bonce. Its took me two days to be able to reply as ovarian/peritoneal cancer is too close to home.

 My mother in law (61) was diagnosed in June with ovarian cancer, had the planned op on the 26th June which was unsuccessful (tumours spread to bowel, omentum etc). The surgeon only managed to take a small amount of the disease away and couldnt get to the ovarys due to the extent of the disease. She had her 1st chemo in hospital, we have been told very little by drs despite asking lots of questions. One even said they werent sure if it was ovarian or peritoneal cancer (and that it didnt matter ultimately!)

She came home for 5 days before her wound burst and she spent the next 6 weeks in hospital with a small bowel fistula. Shes home now and well in herself but hasnt been able to have any more chemo as she has an open abdominal wound which has to heal. Her prognosis is poor and the more the chemo is delayed the more we as a family worry. I am going with her on Thursday to her next appt and intend to ask lots of questions as we all feel we dont know whats going on.

Its a truely horrible cancer, I feel so sad for your brother and nephew xxx
