As a 7+ year survivor of Mucinous Adenocarcinoma of the Appendix, I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have. Most important is that your spouse/partner be seen and treated by an appendix cancer expert, and not just by someone who plans to treat it as a variant of colon cancer.

Hello! Hope all is well.

Welcome to this site!!! It has been a blessing for me, to share my experiences, listen to others, and always be reminded that there are lots of loving people who understand what I am going through!!! I too have appendix cancer, 2 years out now!!! God Bless You on Your Journey with Cancer!!!

I want to welcome you to WhatNext.....a great place to meet individuals like yourself who are asking questions...sharing their experience...and looking for hope! Feel free to jump right in...

Hello and welcome. I am currently living with Mucinous Adenocarcinoma of the Appendix Mets and have been since 2004. I recieve care from Cancer Treatment Centers of America in Zion, IL. Its just a hop skip and jump from where you are:) A great place, if for nothing other than a second opinion, which I think everyone should get. They provide an exceptional level of care. Anyhow, I agree with abrub regarding the kind of care you need. When I first had this cancer dx many of the treatments currently widely accepted today as the norm, were looked upon as extremely radical. So abrub may have much more in common with the care your spouse/partner should be getting today. I hope you take advantage of the kindness and experience of everyone on this site, you picked a good landing spot!

Hello, I am also a cancer survivor from MI. I go to UofM hospital. I've had 2 different cancers, thyroid and uterine. I hope your spouse is receiving good treatment. This is an unusual type of cancer to have. Best of luck to you.
