While there is life there is hope. No one can tell you how much time there is. Do get a prescription for antidepressants it helps with obsession. Keep busy. I plan more things to do than I ever did. More human contact, volunteering , reading ,movies yard projects and praying. I know while having chemo some of this activities are not possible but do not just sit there. Have you thought about getting a second opinion from a major cancer center. I did and found a protocol my oncologist in town had not offer and it was my best chance There are many people here who have survived many recurrences. Do keep hoping and praying. God be with you.

I found a book on Amazon that can be listened to or read called 'The Last Lecture' by Randy Pausch. He was in a similar situation, but he used his college lecture to record meaningful events to his family. It was on Youtube. Randy was an expert in time management and lived every moment to the fullest extent.

Hi RonF I was just thinking about you I hope you are doing well God Bless

RonF if you do either make sure you have an experienced surgeon and hospital it makes all the difference. I went to CTCA in Zion, IL and Dr Brown was my surgeon. Finding information on the HIPEC is kinda hard. The procedure is used alot for appendix cancer and i joined an online support group for that and got answers
