Hi, sorry that you're here. You can talk to us any time. Take care

This is a wonderful site to be a part of. very informational and life experiences as well. I was diagnosed in 2012 with ovarian cancer, after surgery; to remove my tumor, they realized it was my appendix. I had the HIPEC surgery after that. did 17 rounds of chemo, now I am just living one day to the next, since another surgery to remove the rest of the cancer is out of the question. I do hope you can get some good use of this site, any questions please ask me. God Bless You on Your Journey.

Hey how are you doing as I'm from Sebring.....There are others from Florida here. How are you doing? Ask if you have any questions and this is a Great Site....good Luck! Barry

Hi Dolphingirl. Welcome to this site, it is very helpful and a lot of great people on here to provide support. My husband was diagnosed with mucinous adenocarcinoma and had the hipec surgery in January. I'm sorry that you are going through this and know what a shock it is, please don't hesitate if you or your family have any questions, there is a lot of experience and great people on this site.

David had asked me to help you concerning how to save some of the pictures and quotes on our pinboard. It's really quite easy, first just click on the picture or quote you want to save, it will enlarge for you, then right click on the picture, you will get a prompt from your computer to "save image as", or "save image" or something to that effect depending on your browser. Then just save it to your computer in what file you want to save it in. Let us know if you still need help, we are always happy to help.

I had cytoreductive surgery and HIPEC (heated chemo) plus 10 rounds of systemic chemo. I was diagnosed April 2014.

Hi, Dolphingirl! 8 year appendix cancer survivor here. Always glad to help out! I was dx'd at 55, and told by one dr I wouldn't see 60. He was wrong! Btw, I recognize you from another site, so I already know some of your story, and am skipping my standard welcome spiel. Alice
