Latest blog post is up. Written by Belle's dear friend Maria.

FYI I posted Belle last blog last night.

I had 2 HIPEC surgeries in Pittsburgh, PA by Dr. Herb Zeh. He is a partner of Dr. David Bartlett that Vilca11 mentioned. I love him. He saved my life. He took my case when other HIPEC surgeons wouldn't.

FYI, I posted the first of Belle's last blogs. I'll post the other one next Sunday. Happy Easter!

Two docs turned me down for the HIPEC before I found one that would do it. I had two HIPECs. I've been cancer free for 7 years. Please get a second or 3rd opinion.

Sless, please consider talking to a counselor. Your oncologist might be able to suggest one.

I'm glad you went to the ER. Hopefully you'll start feeling better now that the infection is being treated.

Something must be really wrong with me. I've had so many accidents and leaks in public or at night, I can't even count them all. I've had an ileostomy (I call him leo) for 10 years and there have been some doozies. The most memorable accident happened in the most magical place on earth.

There could be some changes in your sexual function. I wish someone would have told me about before radiation.

I'm 10 years since dxd.
NED since 2007.
My onc calls me cured.
I had 4 recurrences.
In addition to the usual, I participated in an immunotherapy trial.

Thank you. This is great.
I really wish the archives worked though...

Great thread. I've been working on a blog post addressing the libido/sex after cancer issue butt since it's been so widely discussed on this thread perhaps I should scrap it, it's not an easy subject to discuss anyway.
You are not alone Cherie.

Thanks Steveib.

Thanks everybody.
