@chall7602 My diagnosis was mucinous adenocarcinoma appendix cancer. (After debulking surgery it took a couple of months for the team to work that out from my biopsies. My ovarian tumour was one of the secondary sites. The treatment protocol is different. Appendix cancer initially gets treated the same as colorectal cancers).

Like most of us I had explained away my symptoms, especially bloating which I assumed was due to menopause and extreme fatigue which I assumed was being burnt out.

I had my 1st covid jab in Australia (we finally got it late) and it saved me!! My body couldn’t handle fighting cancer and dealing with the jab. I was dreadfully sick one night (vomitting, shivering and breathless). My new GP (who replaced my just retired GP and my 1st visit to her) the next day got me up on the table and prodded my abdomen all over. She found the mass and it was all on from there. I had scans and was in surgery within a few days.

I owe my life to that covid jab and a hands-on GP.
