Faye Louise, being treated for appendix cancer and undergoing extensive surgery as part of her treatment, recently learned that she was cured and that there was no “no more trace of illness” in his body. His incredible story has gone around the world.
A wonderful gift a few weeks before Christmas. On November 25, just one month before Christmas, Faye Louise learned that she had been in remission from her cancer for a year. The 40-year-old Briton, who underwent long treatment and heavy operations to recover, was quick to share the news on social networks. Since then, her story has gone around the world and the beautiful forty-year-old, who recently returned to work at London Gatwick Airport, has spoken to several media, including BBC Sussex radio.
“Learning that there was no longer a trace of disease in my body was the best Christmas present I could have received”confided this survivor, who underwent numerous operations and had to have eight organs removed to heal. Faye Louise lives today without a spleen, gallbladder, appendix, ovaries, uterus, fallopian tubes, navel and omentum.
What is pseudomyxoma peritonei?
The British woman, who will have to undergo new medical examinations every year in the fall for twenty years to ensure that the cancer has not returned, was diagnosed with pseudomyxoma peritonei in the spring of 2023. This is a very rare tumor which is characterized by a pocket of gelatinous substance, located in the abdomen. If this sac ruptures, fluid spills out and the cancer spreads to other organs. If caught in time, and before vital organs are affected, the cancer has a good chance of being defeated. The 20-year survival rate is 70%, according to data from the Renape network (National Network for the Management of Rare Peritoneal Tumors).
