I am writing in order to raise awareness of a rare form of abdominal cancer known as Pseudomyxoma Peritonei (PMP). Most members of the public have never heard of it, and many doctors know very little about it, which is why it is often not diagnosed or diagnosed too late for proper treatment. There are only two hospitals in the UK that specialise in PMP treatment: North Hampshire Hospital, Basingstoke, and the Christie Hospital, Manchester. I have written up my story as a PMP patient here: http://www.camsoftpartners.co.uk/pmpsurvivor.htm My Web page contains links to other sources of information on PMP.
