Hi Farmgirl2012 I did not lose my hair and many many others who have had this opp have also not lost their hair. Keeping in mind that chemo has different effects for all people, but as the chemo is internal and not given by the drip the side effects are different. There is a face book group started by a patient here in Australia. It is inclusive for all Australia and New Zealand patients. https://www.facebook.com/groups/Australia&NewZealandPMPcancerPatients(pseudomyxomaperitonei) There are 99 members in it so you should find some answers there as well.

It sure makes a difference having a wonderful husband and family to get you through the difficult time. My hubby and I have both had cancer also so we know what each other is going through. I am only 9 months from getting the horrible news and have just finished my treatment last month. We are both senior citizens too in our early 60's and been married 40 years. Best Wishes to you both for many more happy years together.
Cheers
Robyn

I last contacted this website last September when I went on a little rant about waiting for surgery for suspected Ovarian cancer. I was very anxious about it at the time and gained some relief by discussing it. I cannot remember now which page I connected with so have started again!
During debulking surgery I was found to have appendiceal cancer with pseudomyxoma peritonei, not ovarian cancer. The prognosis was better for me in that this is a slow growing cancer, not usually entering the blood stream but being contained in the pelvic area. Further scans have revealed residual areas of cancer needing further surgery and I am now on the waiting list for that - another huge operation.
My point in writing at this time is that there are no Australian websites discussing appendiceal cancers, although there are plenty of American and European ones. I would like to know the prevalence of this cancer in Australia and likely prognosis. It is apparently rather rare although during hospital visits staff are quick to say that they treat many patients with my diagnosis.
Does anyone know of an Australian website I could log into for this?
