Articles from across the world

From patients and from caregivers

Being relatively new to the group, I just wanted to say how cool I think it is that we are from all over the world and yet we share and are brought together by something so life changing. It is something that bonds us together in a way that shared nationality or age or gender alone never could. I just wanted to let all of you know how much I value knowing you are out there and supporting each other.

Life and its uncertainties are hard enough as a cancer patient but when your income is so low that you don’t have the money to travel to see a cancer specialist, the door of hope and a future for your life is closed to you. That’s what I was facing, but Pseudomyxoma Survivor gave me a financial grant which opened that door for me so I could travel to see my cancer specialist to get the treatment I desperately needed to save my life. They are lifesavers.

pseudomyxoma peritonei patient

When I was first diagnosed with an appendiceal tumour, I was terrified. All the information I found initially on the Internet talked about awful outcomes, local doctors knew less than I did, and suddenly I was being treated miles from home. I was very pessimistic about the future. When I found this website, suddenly things started looking more hopeful.

I found this website extremely useful with answering questions when I was first diagnosed with pseudomyxoma peritonei. I am almost a year post diagnosis and I could not of managed without the support, the answers, the love and hugs sent when you’re down. It’s an amazing site and the support group is full of lovely people.
