I had appendix out after pain pathology came back stage 3 goblet cell adenocarcinoma I had to wait four weeks and had right hemicolectomy and lymph node removal. Lymph nodes all clear and surgical margins clear. I was told five year survaliance monitor plan by way of CT scans and bloods and handed over to my regular Doctor. No plan made up yet,but I feel I should see specialists like oncoligist for plan.

@cxmasjams26 I would see an appendix cancer specialist. This disease can be sneaky and you may be a candidate for HIPEC. Or I would at least push to scan yearly to keep a pulse on things. Also, did you have blood work that showed any elevation for cancer markers? If so perhaps doing annual bloodwork might be helpful?
