Learning Event Support: PMP Pals Meetup Co-Hosted by Froedtert and the Medical College of Wisconsin

Project Description Narrative:

Patients with appendix cancer, pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP), and related peritoneal surface malignancies experience various mental and physical complications and lifestyle changes as they undergo treatment. This event will provide education for both patients and their healthcare providers on how to approach and deal with setbacks in order to create the best outcomes possible.

The event, made possible through a partnership with the MCW Regional Cancer Therapy Program, will welcome healthcare professionals specializing in the care of patients with these diseases, as well as past and current patients and their caregivers.
