I had grade 2 mucinous aggressive appendiceal cancer found with ultrasound when I had lower stomach pain. It was 3 times larger than it should be and tumor had grown to the last layer (serosa) but all intact. I had a perforation on one end with mucosa t4. It was removed. All margins clean. (up against colon). A month later I had right hemacolectomy. And 20 lymph nodes removed. All were free of cancer and pathology report was excellent. It’s just the perforation that raises risk and causes concern. I chose not to do chemo because it would have maybe helped 5% and maybe not. They are treating it like colorectal cancer because aggressive appendix cancer so rare. Not much statistics out there … 50% chance I’ll get cancer again within 5 yrs. Getting ctscan in February to put my mind at ease. Bloodwork was good.
4 years is great for you!! Thank you for writing. Best of luck for continuing NED.
