My husband, John, was diagnosed with Appendix Cancer and PMP in August 2020. He underwent MOAS (the mother of all surgeries) and HIPEC (hot intravenous chemo) in November 2020 and required MOAS and HIPEC no.2 in November 2022. In total he had 5 organs removed and a layer of his peritoneum, and take daily medication to manage certain symptoms but on the whole he is in good health and live an active life. His last scan in November 2023 was NED - no evidence of disease. His next scan is in Nov this year and we are keeping positive :-)

Pseudomyxoma Survivor is a small charity dedicated to patients and family of PMP survivors. Your money will help in supporting ongoing research into immunotherapy treatments as well as providing immediate help to families as surgery requires a minimum 2 week stay in one of 2 specialist centres in the UK, either in Basingstoke or in Manchester plus a 3-6 month recovery period at home.

Pseudomyxoma Survivor is a non-profit organization, run by patients and caregivers. Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) is a very rare cancer that generally starts in the appendix with mucinous cancer spreading in the abdomen.

Pseudomyxoma Survivor is a thriving support community supporting anyone whose life has been touched by PMP as well as appendix cancer and other peritoneal surface malignancies. They are completely dependent on voluntary donations. Their patron is Sean Hepburn Ferrer. Sean’s mother, Audrey Hepburn, passed away shortly after being diagnosed with PMP.
