My 70-something aunt was diagnosed with Peritineal Cavity Cancer. She had abdominal pain for a few months and finally sought help when she thought it was appendicitis. We are scared. According to the Dr. its a rare cancer that is hard to treat. I am having a hard time finding out much online. If you have any info on this I would so appreciate it!
