What Is Mucus Related Cancer In The Peritoneum Mean?
Dr, MD Krueger,
I don't fit in logical grafics of coloncancer. Eating very well, lots of fruits, vege's, lots combination of whole fiber grains, soy, miso. I don't smoke, i am very lean, did lots of sport and being very creative.(1.82m for 68 kg in normal condition)
2 years ago I became 58 and did a colonoscopy, some values of iron were very low and this was an serious indication.
A severe operation, removal of the large intestine, gallbladder and lots of tissue of peritonium occured begin 2010.
2009 my beloved wife died of braintumor in 5 months.
One year i followed chemo, but theire was no results. I stopped 5 month to look for other opportunities , but started again some month ago with a combination chemo/anti-bodies. I had waterretention round my waist (5 l), they tapped it off but it didn't return till now. I have more energy and it seems that for the first time some results are visible. I don't know the right scientic name, but the oncologe told me about mucus-related-cancer in the peritonium who is spread around. Is theire some food that is harmfull for such a condition ?
To stay in condition i do Tai-chi and Qi-gong. Running is over now.

hi.. the probable diagnosis with what you have mentioned might be mucinous carcinoma of colon or pseudomyxoma peritoneii.. the main modality of treatment is removal of all covering inside your abdomen called peritonectomy and intraperitoneal chemotherapy..food intake doesnot affect the progress of the disease once cancer has established..you can avoid red meat and high cholesterol foods atleast for now...
