Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome.
As you know already, this is very serious diagnosis, and one of the worst cancers in advanced stage. However, these findings that you ve mentioned and 15 months survival is good sign for now, but peritoneal and spleen deposits indicate carcinosis which is sign of disseminated malignant disease. In this case, classic chemotherapy is limited and results are generally poor. There are no other specific medications. Vitamins, minerals and supplements may only boost immune system and increase energy level but it wont affect tumors growth at all.
The procedure that you mention is called HIPEC and this is surgery which is performed in specialized centres where first, we do so called peritonectomy and removal of all visible tumor deposits including involved organs. Then we places 4 catheters into abdominal cavity and flush it with cehmotherapeuticals during 2 hours. Then we closed abdomen and finish surgery.
Considering your case, if your wife is in acceptable general condition, HIPEC would be appropriate and it may be beneficial in terms of life prolongation for 6-12 months. Complete cure is unfortunately not possible.
Wish you good health. Regards
