General Discussion

Hi has anyone heard of a Peritonectomy operation?
It is a real biggie - described as the mother of all operations.
I am not looking forward to having this opp.
I would like to know if there are any survivors out there who have had one?

I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions with how to help with radiation damage? I'm not talking about the skin damage and fatigue that happens during radiation, I'm talking about the muscle, tissue, nerve and possible lymph node damage you only become aware of 6 - 8 weeks after finishing radiation. My oncologist never told me about these 'side effects' and said I will just have to live with the pain and stiffness for the rest of my life. I have no intention of doing that if I can find a way to help it.

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone could offer up some pointers about how to survive the Christmas holiday period? I am a school teacher and am about to have 5 weeks holidays forced on me.

My tragic diagnosis was given to me on Dec 6th and, to be honest, I think that the only way I have coped so far is that I have still been working. Can't say that I am looking forward to the quiet times and the questions/thoughts/emotions that are going to occur about the time frame I was given and that the only choice is palliative care.

Any advice, greatly appreciated

Tim
