How do others handle pT4a with visceral peritoneum metastasis?
Community Member
4 days agoHi there, everyone! I’m newly-diagnosed and have gone through a colectomy surgery of the splenic flexure in August, then had my first round of FOLFOX chemo this week. I am so happy to be here amongst friends that are having the same experiences as myself! My diagnosis is pT4a with metastasis to the visceral peritoneum. I have no obvious metastasis to any other organs in my body at this time. I’m wondering if anyone else here has had the same diagnosis and, if so, what has your experience been like?
