My Story-My Battle with Pseudomyxoma Peritonei (PMP). Thursday, 18 February 2010. Basingstoke-THe Big Day arrives. Finally the day we had dreaded arrived. We were all packed and ready to go. Mum and Dad arrived at 09:00 to pick us up. We wanted to get on the road early and ensure we had plenty of time to get to the hospital. It also meant we got our goodbyes to the family out of the way quickly and did not have time to dwell on it. I tore myslef away and we got into the car. We were soon on our way.

My Story-My Battle with Pseudomyxoma Peritonei (PMP). Thursday, 29 April 2010. One week to go. Its only one week to go now until my next visit to Basingstoke. It's strange, on the one hand I'm excited to get rid of the stoma and finally get back to normal whilst on the other hand it means going under the knife again and feeling poorly for a few weeks after. The nice thing is that I can really start planning for the future again and can start looking forward to plans that I'm hatching! Its clear that I ha...

I had not been allowed to eat or drink for four hours before the appointment and made a special effort to get up early enough to allow me to have a light breakfast as I can’t start the day without food! It’s not unpleasant just very strange an...

My Story-My Battle with Pseudomyxoma Peritonei (PMP): The First Bombshell
http://cavecrawlerstory.blogspot.com/2009/11/first-bombshell.html
My Story-My Battle with Pseudomyxoma Peritonei (PMP). Friday, 13 November 2009. I left work early on the day of my appointment at Southmead Hospital. I was meeting the consultant Miss Burt and the specialist nurse Lesley Atkin. It was a hot day in June and the waiting room was not air conditioned and stuffy. As usual they were running a good hour behind. Cancer, I heard. The CT would give them more of an idea of the problem along with the colonoscopy and enable them to put a care plan together. I was...

As it was I think I was pretty out of it by this point and wasnt too nervous. I was brought around in the recovery room afte...

My Story-My Battle with Pseudomyxoma Peritonei (PMP). Tuesday, 24 November 2009. So that was that, we now had to wait until October for the next CT and blood tests to put a marker in the sand and see how things were progressing. The operation lasts on average some 10 1/2hrs and you are kept sedated throughout the Tuesday evening and providing all is well gradually brought around throughout the Wednesday. It sounded pretty full on. We booked meetings with our financial advisor and reviewed insurance polic...

My Story-My Battle with Pseudomyxoma Peritonei (PMP). Friday, 3 April 2015. Results of SeHCAT Scans. So it’s official, I am suffering with bile salt malabsorbtion. The results of my recent SeHCAT scans have shown this to be the case. However I am lucky enough not to be suffering from the usual side effects experienced by most people (chronic diarrhoea) and instead it has manifested itself in my low vitamin B12 count. There are three classifications of types of bile salt malabsorbtion-. My mum stumbled up...
