Become a subscribing member of the PMP Pals' Network today and learn how to live well in spite of being affected by a Pseudomyxoma Peritonei and Appendix Cancer! You may join as either a Pal Patient, or Pal Family Caregiver and participate in any of these groups!

In addition to answering your questions about consulting with a specialist, preparing for medical treatment, and recuperation, your "Pals" will assist you with practical answers to your concerns about

health insurance coverage,
returning to work following treatment,
resuming an active lifestyle,
affects on your personal and social life,
diet and nutrition needs,
living with an ostomy,
and a myriad of other questions you may have!

Your questions and concerns will be addressed privately, without exposing you to message boards or "chat rooms!"

 “Pals” communicate directly via email, telephone calls, SKYPE or personal visits!
