About Us
Pseudomyxoma Survivor is the home of the support network for survivors and carers of Pseudomyxoma Peritonei (PMP).
Our support network offers emotional encouragement and a community where fellow patients and caregivers can collaborate online. This allows us to share our stories, enforcing the fact that we are not alone in this fight, as well as further the growing online PMP community. The community has already proven an invaluable source of strength to so many survivors of this rare disease.
We provide a buddy system and practical and emotional help and advice on managing symptoms and all aspects of living and surviving with this rare disease. We also organise fundraising to raise money to fund essential equipment for UK PMP centres of excellence and for funding for research opportunities in the UK into the treatment of PMP.
Pseudomyxoma Survivor is a registered charity in England and Wales, number 1143642
