Hi Ponzlaw, so sorry you are going through this. I also have appendiceal cancer, and would add to what Angelstar said, please, please see an appendix cancer specialist. This is a rare cancer, indeed, and despite what they might say, oncologists and "regular" surgeons do not have the knowledge required to treat this. Sloan Kettering should be able to help you in this regard, as I believe there is at least one such specialist there. Good luck to you, and please let us know how it's going. I was diagnosed 5 years ago, and thanks to a specialist, I am still here.0October 2015
Thinking of you and virtual hug. Hope all went well with the surgery.0November 2015
OOOPs I did not understand I couldn't post my e mail. glad to hear you are going to Sloan Kettering.0November 2015
