A diagnosis of Pseudomyxoma peritonei can be a distressing and overwhelming time, in equal measure. There is a lot of information to take in, and sometimes you just need to speak to someone who understands.
The most important thing to remember is that you are not alone! Many Pseudomyxoma peritonei patient support groups exist throughout the world, and are ready to help you with both information and support. Most of the groups are staffed by survivors of PMP and so can give you the one-to-one support and information that you need.
