HIPECERS - subsequent surgery to remove a small spot?

Postby Canada777 » Fri Dec 29, 2017 9:46 pm

DH had HIPEC a little over a year ago. About nine months later a cancerous spot showed up on his pelvis - no where else. It's been kept stable with FOLFIRI for about 3 months and he was told after another 3 months if it stays stable surgery is a possibility to have it removed.

Anyone have a similar story? Or success with a smaller second surgery??

I’ve noticed not that many successful hipeckers are very active on this forum anymore but I’ll bump you up. I’m also interested.

Hello. I had Hipec and then about 2 years later, I felt a little hard bump near my scar, near my belly button. Tests confirmed it as a metastasis. So I had a small surgery to remove it, and have continued to be cancerfree in my abdominal space. So, I would say surgery for a met after Hipec definitely can happen and definitely can be dealt with positively. Good luck!
