    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.

    Sorry you are going through this trying time Ponzlaw. My husband was diagnosed with Appendix Cancer a little over a year ago. He is doing really well. It sounds like yours was caught early which is good news. Let us know if you have any questions.
