A mum has been given the all clear after she was told that her rare cancer diagnosis was incurable earlier this year.
She told Glasgow Live: "I was a very active person and then my belly started to grow. I put it down to peri-menopause because of my age. I went to my doctors and asked if I could go on HRT. "They discovered bowel tissue in those organs and that's when they found out it was all coming from the bowel." The mum said: "I started chemotherapy and it was really rough. It started in the September and finished in the January. Due to the stage of cancer I was able to be put forward for CRS Hipec.
"They removed my appendix, the right side of my bowel, my rectum and scraped out almost four pounds of cancer from my peritoneum. Paula said: "I've never heard of it. When I was told how rare it was I felt fear because there isn't a lot of treatment out there for it. Following the surgery the mum woke up with a stoma and an ileostomy bag. The initial shock proved to be a significant blow to her mentally, however, she is beginning to get used to it.
