Peritoneal carcinomatosis refers to cancer that has spread to the peritoneum, which is the thin membrane lining the inside of the abdomen and covering the abdominal organs. This development after endometrial cancer treatment can understandably bring up many concerns and questions about next steps and treatment options. The community here understands the worry that comes with unexpected findings on scans, and connecting with your medical team will be important for getting specific information about your situation and discussing potential treatment approaches.

I just found out I had that secondary to either fallopian or ovarian. I was diagnosed on August 6th. I am a 3C. So if I go this morning to be drained for the what seems like the 100th time but probably is only about the 10th until they finally put the pluerex in so I don't have to keep going to the hospital every 6 days. Hi I'm Lisa, I'm 59 I live in chagrin falls Ohio I have one son who's 23 and has mild autism Asperger's. I haven't decided if I'm doing chemo yet because she knows not really effective for carcinomatosis. Something about the membrane. Did they to do the surgery. My eye calls it the slice and dice and bake wish I was actually pretty shocked that it did that! Anyway I try to smile as much as I can find humor in the cancer. I know one thing for sure and they say you need to fight cancer that's what it wants. Cancer breeds and lives and feeds off of fear. It sounds weird but you almost have to love it to let it Go
