What to do?
Today I saw my HIPEC surgeon who told me have some cancer spots on my small bowel above my illeostomy, most are at the bottom of my pelvis with two under my diaphragm. He has told me that the surgery would mostly not work and the cancer would come back and if I did it, it may or may not buy me some time. As for now I’m doing o.k. Each day I take long acting morphine and work most days and live a somewhat "normal" life. I have terrible neuropathy thanks to chemo i did over a year ago. My surgeon wants me to do more chemo after the surgery (if I have it), which I know, will kill me.
I want to live. I have a six year old with a chronic illness who needs her mother. I just feel like I have no options. I do very poorly on chemo and have nearly died while doing it. Please send me your advice or HIPEC stories. Is there anything out there working to keep pelvic spread at bay?
