I am scheduled for my first surgery on February 11. The surgery is just to go in and look around and see what we are dealing with. I hope after that hour long procedure to have a plan for the surgery on February 22nd. I’m super nervous about all of it. Is this a different form of cancer now or a peritoneal inclusion cyst? Either way I’m assured the treatment to correct it is the same and involves HIPEC. I just want the second surgery date to come and go fast so I can be healing in my own home, in my own bed. They promise me a week or two in the hospital due to sluggish bowels after surgery. Not looking forward to that at all.
