If your husband wants his best shot at beating this he should ask to start chemo ASAP if you read my signature I too was 47 at diagnosis and after chemo radiation surgery and adjuvant chemo then reversal surgery I figured I beat it and a year later it was back so I did it all again but the radiation...

My husband did not have a successful HIPEC surgery. Dr. loggie started with the scopes to see everything first hand and pulled the scope and closed him back up. We were told that due to the spread of the cancer in the mesentery it would not be worth doing any type of surgery. Dr. Loggie took some b...

I'm so sorry to read about your husbands situation but keep in mind their always looking for and finding new treatments so much can happen in two years.

I've had the same issue and I had 60 sessions of hyperbaric oxygen therapy and that really screwed my eyes up big time I had to get glasses but since I stopped that in May I've had a good improvement in my vision
