I have only recently become a trustee for Pseudomyxoma Survivor. I applied to become a trustee because, from a family carer’s perspective, I have an understanding of many unique and difficult challenges faced by those diagnosed with a very rare cancer such as pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) – where late and/or misdiagnosis, and feelings of isolation are sadly all too common stories.

As such, I can clearly see the value and importance of a patient focused charity for those diagnosed with PMP and their families. The support we offer is varied, for example, online support and through our small grants scheme. Ensuring such avenues of support for patients and their families are available is what motivates me as a trustee.
