@frouke thank you. Your post grounded me. This has just been such a harrowing scary ordeal and I feel frozen with fear most of the time. I’m so sorry that you had a recurrence. Did they give you any insight into what happened? Was your first surgery considered curative?

@frouke So true. I am coming up for 3 years in remission after hectic treatment for stage 4 appendix cancer. Last treatment was in May 2022. I am still closely surveilled and I still am very anxious in the days leading up to each rescan and until I’ve seen my oncologist to review my reports. Between scans I’m fine. I’m now scanned 6 monthly and life is now in 6 monthly instalments! I too take comfort from knowing that at least any change can be jumped on quickly.
