MOAS is an abbreviation for the term the “Mother of All Surgeries” and refers to cytoreductive surgery with HIPEC (CRS/HIPEC). The phrase was coined by the wife of a patient on her blog about their experiences with pseudomyxoma peritonei. The expression stuck and has become standard language in the PMP community.
I had my cytoreductive surgery and HIPEC in February 2023 at The Christie in Manchester. It’s a big operation and recovery is slow and hard. I’m glad I went ahead as I know I will have more time with my family and be able to live my life to the full once I’m full healed.
