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

PMP in its early stages has few symptoms. It starts in the appendix, more rarely, the bowel, ovary or bladder. It affects♂️&♀️of all ages. The tumour polyp grows & bursts through the wall into the abdominal cavity, this is when the patient first realises that there is a problem.

PMP tumours grow & burst through the wall of the appendix into the abdominal cavity. These tumours can secrete a jelly-like substance called mucin. A build up of mucin lead to the characteristic ‘jelly belly’ & compresses vital organs. #pseudomyxomasurvivorcharity #appendixcancer
