[edit] In

In the last revision, the colloquial name "jelly belly" got lost. I am going to put it back in. Some people have heard of "jelly belly" but not of PMP.

[edit] Link

I added an external link to my sister's story. It contains 4+ years of history with tons of information for patients with this disease. Many patients have benefited from reading it. If it is not appropriate to provide this external link, please tell me why.

Personal accounts are poor sources of information. Not everyone may have the same experience. It is also not a personal story but a blog. If you have information about PMP, with good references, please be so good as to work it into the article. Just linking to the blog is not the same as imparting information.

I agree that the information should be incorporated into the Wikipedia entry -- it has an extraodinary amount of detailed information not available elsewhere. This is the link, for those who are interested in taking on the task: http://appendixcancer.blogspot.com/ Bollar 16:56, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Links changed

The link to UK information has changed:

http://www.christie.nhs.uk/pro/depts/pmp/detailedinfo.aspx

In addition a UK based (but not UK limited) patient led discussion forum has been set in in conjunction with The Christie Hospital NHS Foundation Trust. The forum can be found at
