“How are you doing?” can be overwhelming, the answer might be complicated/exhausting to explain.
“How was your day?” allows space for the good/hard, without pressure.
Words matter, compassion lives in subtleties.

"Are there any research trials for appendix cancer/pmp?" Is one of the questions we’re asked most.
Trials are limited & costly. Our supportive community allows us to fund seed-level research.
You can donate here www.pseudomyxomasurvivor.org/donate/

"When you hear hoofbeats, think horses, not zebras."
A phrase medical students use to consider common diagnoses before #rarecancer. However, for some patients, this mindset can lead to misdiagnosis, sometimes it really is a zebra!

PMP, a rare & complex disease, requiring specialised treatment. Early referral to an expert can make a significant difference in outcomes. Patients advocating for their own healthcare, is pivotal. #patientadvocacy #PMPExpert #pmpCare #CRSHIPEC #SpecialisedTreatment #appendixcancerawarenessmonth

There are actually differ types of #appendixcancer & #pseudomyxomaperitonei, some are more aggressive.
Early diagnosis & access to specialised care make all the difference.
Raise #AppendixCancerAwareness #PMPAwareness, spark conversation, & support those facing #RareCancer

Even during Appendix Cancer Awareness Month, we’re allowed to laugh. In fact, sometimes we need to. Here’s to strength, science, and still finding reasons to smile.

💡 These tests are key to early detection and proper treatment planning.
If symptoms persist and answers are unclear, ask about further investigations.

This Appendix Cancer Awareness Month, we recognise the complex path to diagnosis.
That’s why our message is simple but powerful: Trust your gut.
Listening to your body can make all the difference.

Early detection can save lives, push for answers if you have abdominal symptoms that can not be explained.

This is Appendix Cancer Awareness Month. Awareness without action is worthless. Real change happens when awareness leads to action. Share info, support patients & research, push for earlier diagnoses & better treatments, your involvement matters.
Learn. Share. Donate. Advocate.
