Us humans are a complicated lot! Research indicates that patients often delay discussing their most pressing health concerns during a visit to their doctor. It can be the last thing mentioned as they walk to the door! #pseudomyxomasurvivor #appendixcancer #pseudomyxomaperitonei
Research indicates that patients often delay discussing their most pressing health concerns during a visit to their doctor. It's usually the thing that they mention on their way out of the consultation! #pseudomyxomasurvivor #appendixcancer #pseudomyxomaperitonei
The challenge of a rare cancer that many are unfamiliar with, & we also need to master its pronunciation! Pseudomyxoma peritonei is pronounced “sue-doh-mix-oh-muh pary-ih-ton-nee-i” & often abbreviated to PMP. #pseudomyxomasurvivorcharity #pseudomyxomaperitonei #appendixcancer
A concerning trend of appendix cancer being diagnosed in younger patients. Those born in the mid 1980s 4X more likely to receive a diagnosis of ac compared to those born in the 1940s.

Peritoneal malignancies are appearing in younger patients. Are they receiving written resources during preoperative medical visits? Is counselling being offered? Important questions to ask. Link to article - www.sciencedirect.com/.../pii/S002... #pseudomyxomasurvivor #pseudomyxomaperitonei
We are currently backing a funding proposal aimed specifically at exploring diets for PMP patients. Given that this a rare cancer, it would be remarkable to shine a light on our needs. Keeping our fingers crossed! 🤞🏻 #pseudomyxomasurvivor #pseudomyxomaperitonei #appendixcancer
We trust you have found our series on diet for cancer patients informative & it has opened a conversation on the subject. Let your healthcare professional know if you are considering a specific diet.

Those with a low BMI, eating disorders, heart disease or diabetes are advised not to risk short-term fasting due to a lack of strong evidence. Check with yr oncology team before taking any supplements. #pseudomyxomasurvivor #bda_dieticianssh #pseudomyxomaperitonei #appendixcancer
We have been running a series on cancer diets & myths, with our information being supplied by @BDA_dieticians. Today's subjects are alkaline & ketogenic diets, both complex areas to discuss. #pseudomyxomasurvivor #BDA_dieticians #pseudomyxomaperitonei #appendixcancer

Continuing our series on cancer diets and myths. Today we start with some myths. #pseudomyxomasurvivor #britishdieteticassociation #pseudomyxomaperitonei #appendixcancer
New appendix cancer & PMP patients may consider diet to ‘fight’ cancer or alleviate side effects. Over the next few days are prompts, to start a conversation about your diet & cancer. Sourced from BDA #pseudomyxomasurvivorcharity #britishdieteticassociation #pseudomyxomaperitonei
No matter how you are celebrating, we wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Our volunteers are taking a break. We'll be checking in now and again but please be patient. See you in 2025.
