My pathology was negative after HIPEC. It it possible chemo I had prior to HIPEC killed all the cells or perhaps it wasn’t a recurrence after all cause there was no biopsy prior to HIPEC but a high suspicious area peritoneal that’s was increased in size. What are those possibilities? I’m wondering whether I’m actually stage II and not 4 at this point. I get vague answers from my team …..obviously. Tumour board agreed to HIPEC. Apparently it is very hard to kill peritoneal tumours near mesentery with chemotherapy. What are the possible scenarios where it was just “nothing” ? I’m two years NED. Having brain pelvis thorax etc scans this afternoon.
I just had surgery to remove my appendix 3 months ago and the diagnosis of my biopsy is LAMN. I’m still in surveillance as per my doctor but it’s also very unsettling and difficult cause I’ve been feeling some pressure again in my abdomen. Not sure if it’s related to it but hoping it’s not. This condition is just so rare so it’s hard to find some answers on how to deal with it. But thank you Dr. Daniel for your explanation on this. I’m still hopeful that it won’t reoccur again and it’s been proven as per research that this condition it has a high survival rate among the other prognosis.
The fact that only about half of the patients with crc benefit from HIPEC, there is a need for a genomic test to select the appropriate patients for this morbid treatment. In our setup Recovery can take from 8 weeks to 8-9 months.
My wife is undergoing surgery on wednesday low grade ovarian carcinoma stage 3. She may or may not recieve HIPEC which will be decided by draw. Indeed based on a trial treatment whereas patients already proved promising results on a interval treatment where there will be 3 rounds of chemo followed by surgery->Hipec and 3 more rounds of chemo. We are hoping for the best. 💪
@@MemeMeme-tu6fr she underwent surgery followed by HIPEC wednesday two weeks ago. It is a bit early to say but they managed to remove all the decease during a 13h surgery followed by 1,5 hr HIPEC treatment. She is still in the hospital but we expect her to be home the upcoming week. For now we and the docs are very happy.
Could this treatment help people with pancreatic cancer or pancreatic cancer mets after a Whipple. ?? Is he this doctor in his home? How are these kids not supervised? Because the kids in the dog in the background are a bit distracting😮
For your interest…I was diagnosed as Stage 3b OC in 2021. I had acute surgery and cytoreductive surgery within 2 weeks of diagnosis followed by six months of systemic chemo( carboplatin and paclitaxel) I did not tolerate chemo and stopped the pac and had 5 of the 6 treatments … due to severe pleural neuropathy. Within six months of completing treatment I was diagnosed with recurrence… 3 pelvic nodules… one large on bladder and 2 peritoneal. I opted for HOPEC following removal of nodules and a peritonectomy. To date I have exceeded My previous OS rate and Year 3 post Initial diagnosis remain cancer free…
Where did you receive your treatment of surgery and hipec? Did you undergo a complete peritonectmy? Did you have any complications afterwards as a result of peritonectomy?
@karenharrison8257 What subtype is your ovarian cancer, as I know there are many subtypes, hence their treatment differs, may I ask? Appreciate your answers.
I had Hipec following recurrence of Ovarian Cancer Stage 3 B.I did not tolerate systemic chemotherapy well so opted for HIPEC Mytomycin C. I tolerated the HIPEC well. Do you need systemic chemo as well.
Hello My appendicitis got ruptured on 14th April 2021 and had colonoscopy on 20th May 2021. After than had laparoscopic surgery on 06 June 2021 . On pathological report they found lAMN which is t4(a) . After than they did CT scan on July 2021 which remains unremarkable. After Than doctor told me we will put you under survilence . Till September 2021 I didn’t had any issue . Suddenly pain in right side pelvic groin area came radiating to back and leg very vague pain is more like tissue wound ( not pointed pain) I went to ER had blood test ultrasound ct scan nothing came out after than that pain subsided by it’s own. Again on June 2022 they did CT scan and September 2022 which shows stump appendicitis of 7 mm with inflammation doctor told its normal don’t worry. On November 2022 I started the same pain and it was again very vague I went to ER had ultrasound ct scan x ray urine test blood test nothing came out . Two surgeon saw . I went to india and there suddenly pain gone . Met there one orthopaedic he told might be severe cold exposure. Again I came back on December 14 2022 pain came back but it also remain on and off . I met my surgeon he told nothing related . And told he will again ct scan on 2023 June . Following that he might do one more standard surgery near the appendicitis he cut. I asked do I have cancer he told no but when I’m googling it it’s giving me anxiety and stress . I still have the pain . Now I have video consultation with him on Monday . If any one help me in getting more expert opinion I’m ready to pay
If I was in that position I would totally go for it 100 %. Surgeons are truly gifted. Had a whipple procedure February 2021 and doing great. In remission at present.
I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer stage 3 Jan 2021. Had cytoreduction …all cancers removed… mainly in pelvis. Had systemic chemo finished that in August… didn’t like chemo and it didn’t like me. Early 2022 noted symptoms and it eventuated I had three nodules… they say reoccurrence (three cells left behind from primary surgery simply grew)…I had to fight for the removal of the three nodules ( on bladder, peritoneum and one on sigmoid colon which warranted a wedge resection followed by HIPEC…I am 3 months post op… feeling okay, still a little bloated , especially after eating, no complications, travelled to Sydney at week 8 and walk an hour daily … still not back to baseline but getting close… wish information re HIPEC was shared more in NZ so women can have choice
Sarah Alexander I'm 36 years old and will be 2 years past MOAS/HIPEC this July. I had low-grade disease with extensive spread, a 14 hour surgery with loss of my ovaries, uterus, spleen, gall bladder, omentum and 2 segments of intestine. I had a temporary ileostomy for 6 months and recovery was physically and mentally very tough for me. But now I'm back to my old self, travelling and working in Aus and NZ, and about to go on my first solo overnight tramp. The only lasting effects I currently have are intermittent diarrhoea and a propensity to gain weight if I don't watch my diet (thanks menopause), but much to my surprise I can do everything I used to do. Life was shit for a while but now it's great. Hope this helps a little for those who are struggling right now xx

We need to keep this group private. Remember that not all members want their families in a group with them, as they can then not have a personal discussion without others knowing. * ALWAYS ask the patient before adding family members. Have fun organising a coffee, morning tea or lunch at least 3 to 4 times a year. This builds up a support network for everyone to lean on & helps when some have issues they can talk one on one. Macca's is fine if it is a handy spot, doesn't have to be a flash place as some can't afford it, or have traveled far to get there etc.
I flew from Adelaide to Sydney on Monday for HIPEC number 3 ( second one under Prof Morris). I was terrified as after my last HIPEC in 2019 I was in Sydney for 4 months with loads of complications. It took me almost a year to recover and I did not manage to put any of the weight I lost back on. I am 1.70m and only weigh 50k. I am very fit as I go hill walking and cycle but I didn’t know how my body would cope again. However I have total trust in Prof Morris and if he says I need another HIPEC then I have to go with that. I was admitted to Ward 2. I feel a lot of pressure on my bowel and a recent CT scan had shown some disease there. After more tests Prof Morris changed his mind about HIPEC. He now thinks my bowel problems are caused by adhesions and not by the disease. Yes…..the disease is slowly growing again on my bowel but HIPEC will not help the pressure caused by adhesions. Another HIPEC for me will result in more adhesions and the ever present worry of a bowel obstruction. So one minute I am full of despair over another HIPEC and the next I am filled with hope that I will survive without one. I actually feel Prof Morris has given me my life back by not operating. I have accepted I cannot beat this disease now as it keeps coming back but I feel I have a good enough quality of life still. I have battled PMP for 16 years. I am grateful for the life I still have and enjoy !!
I didn't need one. Had the HIPEC treatment in 2017. 5 years Cancer free now. HIPEC/Cytoreductive surgery for Appendix Cancer. Cancer Research and technology is amazing.
I had the HIPEC/Cytoreductive surgery treatment in 2017 for Appendix Cancer. I didn't need any Chemo after I left the hospital. I had a wonderful Surgeon, Dr Lana Bijelic and her team at INOVA Fairfax Hospital. Fairfax, VA. I am now 5 yrs - Aug 22. 2022. Cancer Free! It saved my life, along with God's healing. I so appreciate the amazing Cancer research, technologies, and treatments available now to help Cancer patients recover. We don't have to die from Cancer now. Never heard of these treatments back in the day. 🙂
I agree with Dr. Shipper that you feel better in about a month or two. I had a lot of debulking (removal of cancer nodules, gallbladder, appendix, periteneum, ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterous) My scar goes from my sternum on down, jogs around my navel, and ends at the pelvis. My hospital stay was two weeks with no food, medication, or water by mouth - most people eat within 5 days. I had the fentanol epidural for maybe 4 days, but it's an epidural which does not effect your ability to walk. My stomach was producing 1 liter of stomach acid - green - for twelve days! That's why I was not allowed to eat or drink. The stomach fluid is drained by a pump so you can't lay down flat to sleep. Suddenly, on the13th day the acid went to 4 oz. then stopped. Got to eat and went home the next day. By two weeks, I was pretty healed and ready to go home. At home, I had to administer shots to my abdomen nightly for 20 nights to prevent blood clots. This long vertical incision has not effected my stomach muscles, they are still strong. It takes six months without your gallbladder to eat anything you want again. You just Eat smaller amounts more often because you don't have bile to help digestion. Hipec is a miracle operation - it saved my life! I now have CT scans every 3 months - three pinky nail sized cancer nodules showed up within these 10 months since Hipec, but nodules remained stable. CTs will go to every 6 months soon.
I thank 🙏God for my Life ❤️ I survive Cancer, Everyone help me appreciate 🙏(Doctor Izeduwa 1) on RU-vid. He gave me the cure for Cancer and I have been tested free on (3)test Scan.😊..
