A woman who received a devastating diagnosis of a rare appendix cancer and subsequently had seven organs removed, is looking forward to the future after having “the mother of all surgeries”.
It was January of last year when Jackie, a Leeds woman originally from New Zealand, was diagnosed with Pseudomyxoma Peritonei, (PMP).
The cancer affects just 1-2 people in a million, and the operation to remove it is so specialised that only two hospitals in the UK can do it.
