Living With Peritoneal Carcinomatosis

I had a question the other day about peritoneal carcinomatosis.

Peritoneal carcinomatosis is a rare type of cancer affecting your peritoneum, which is the thin layer of tissue surrounding the organs in your abdominal cavity, as well as your abdominal cavity itself.

Fluid fills the space between the layers to offer extra cushioning as your organs bump around in your body

Peritoneal carcinomatosis develops when existing abdominal cancers, including appendix, colon, rectal, and pancreatic cancers, spread into your peritoneum.

This causes tumors to grow throughout your peritoneum.

The spread of abdominal cancer to the peritoneum usually means your abdominal cancer is in an advanced stage.

Another form of the disease, primary peritoneal carcinomatosis, begins in the peritoneum itself.

This is also a rare condition, and tends to affect women who are also at risk for ovarian cancer.

Peritoneal carcinomatosis caused by abdominal cancers can cause the following additional symptoms:

>Uncomfortable swelling of your abdomen

>Swelling of your ankles

>Pain in your stomach area

>Breathing problems

>Unusual weight gain

>Loss of appetite

>Digestive problems like nausea and constipation

>Extreme tiredness

Primary peritoneal carcinomatosis, especially in its early stages, may not produce many unusual symptoms.

Often, people don’t notice symptoms until the cancer is advanced.

Noticeable symptoms may be similar to those listed above.

Treatment for peritoneal carcinomatosis is generally fairly aggressive, since it’s an advanced form of cancer.

To deal with peritoneal carcinomatosis, it’s beneficial to:

*Drink 6-8 cups of purified water daily to keep hydrated and flush toxins, whether thirsty or not.  Add Performance for electrolytes.

*Increase life-giving, enzyme and nutrient rich fresh, raw fruits and veggies; organic whenever possible; consider juicing.

*Consider increasing dietary intake of brassica family (broccoli, Brussels sprouts, bok choy, kale, etc.)

*Ensure optimal, quality protein intake.

*Balance Omega-3 and Omega-6 essential fats.

*Consider including freshly made kefir in your diet.
