A 39-year-old woman strives to enjoy the time she has left, after she has added a shock diagnosis of attachment cancer that her body has ‘penetrated’ with tumors.
Rebecca Hind, from Cumbria, received the devastating news in 2019, 33 years old, shortly after the suffering of only the symptoms of what she thought was food poisoning.
What followed was years of meticulous operations to remove 13 from her organs, more than eight debilitating rounds of chemotherapy and medically induced menopause at the age of 35.
Warmly, the last round of treatment cannot keep the cancer at bay and doctors have told her that the disease is terminal – they do not know how long she is left to live.
Nevertheless, she tries to have such a ‘normal’ life possible.
The fitness instructor said: ‘I will be 40 this year and I want to say everything to everything. I am so far surfing into a hot hot air balloon and dog sled.
“My last challenge is Chris Hoy’s Tour the 4 90km cycle to raise money for charity.”
The test began in December 2018, after a Christmas working meal that seemed to result in an attack of food poisoning.

“A few of us were unwell – but while others recovered quickly, I remained sick eight weeks later,” she said.
Initially her doctor prescribed various antibiotics rounds, but when they didn’t work, she was referred to Cumberland Infirmary in Carlisle.
Scans performed by doctors there found cancer-like masses in her belly that it was later revealed that they had spread on a large scale to her other organs through a jelly-like cancer-like liquid called Mucin.
She was diagnosed with pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP), a two-in-a-billion rare form of appendix cancer, who took the life of Hollywood-star Audrey Hepburn.
The most common symptoms of PMP include abdominal pain, swelling and changes in intestinal habits, as well as loss of appetite and inexplicable weight gain.‘
In the case of Mrs. Hind, the cancer appeared to have been advanced – it was melted on the surface of different abdominal organs, which formed solid tumors.
She said, “By the time they thought it was, I was almost busy with it.”
She had two operations to remove thirteen organs and body parts that had become cancer -like, followed by eight round chemotherapy.

In April 2019 she had the first operation to remove her appendix, navel and part of the abdominal cavity.
It was revealed that the cancer was high -quality and an more aggressive form of PMP that presents itself on different organs.
In November 2019 she traveled to Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital for specialists to perform a procedure to try to remove all the abnormal tissue.
The extreme and long procedure, which is called ‘the mother of all operations’, lasted 12 hours.
The surgeons removed her gallbladder, spleen, large intestine, uterus, uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, cervix, rectum and abdominal tissue known as the omentum.
Part of her stomach and small intestine, as well as the surface layer of her liver and both sides of her aperture were also removed.
The extraction of her reproductive organs kicked her in early menopause, only 35 years old.
“It was an attack on the body,” she said.

“I was on and off for months later in the hospital.”
Mrs. Hind has to take a cocktail from 50 to 60 tablets, including codeine, imodium and hormone replacement therapy.
Her diet is also limited and she is forced to take an electrolyte fluid solution with food supplements.
Dusty, in the summer of 2020, she was told that the operation had not poured out the cancer.
Although she participated in a clinical test for a new medicine in 2022, she had to stop taking the medicine when it made it too bad.
In September she participates in the ‘Tour de 4’ of Chris Hoy, a bicycle event that is aimed at challenging the perspectives of people at four cancer phase.
So far she has elevated So far for £ 1000 for pseudomyxoma survivor, a small non-profit organization run by patients and care providers to help those who are affected by PMP.
She said: ‘If a stage 4 patient with a preference for bicycles, I could not reject this and not one for half measures that I want to complete to complete the full 90 km route.

“This will be a particularly big challenge for me, because last summer a big tumor in my pelvis caused a bowel obstruction that ended up in the hospital for six weeks to have a major operation to cure me, but” to get me out of the problems “because I couldn’t eat or drink well.
“Again, I am starting to completely re -develop my fitness and I have not been on my bike for a year.”
In addition to increasing consciousness and fundraising for a PMP -in love with, she has been incredibly active surfing, cycling and dog sledges.
‘The message I want to convey is when you have a stoma or an incurable diagnosis, things will be incredibly difficult.
‘My daily life is a roller coaster – but with the right posture you can still achieve a lot.
“And more importantly, enjoy what time you have.”
