My mother was diagnosed with primary peritoneal carcinoma back in 2000. She had surgery and chemotherapy in 2000 and was healthy for the last 6 years. Unfortunately, they just discovered a new tumor so we're going through this again. She really doesn't have any symptoms at this point, they seem to have caught it fairly early this time. We are optimistic. The only advice I have is to hang in there and be optimistic. My mother had a good five years and we're hoping after this next round of chemo she will have more good years. Best wishes.
