Here I am again, 12/31/20.. yes a third colonoscopy, new surgeon in Tex., ready to schedule surgery to remove my appendix with 2 precancerous sessile serrated polyps in appendeceal orifice. As I mentioned a few times a “mass concerning of malignancy “ was found 0812019..subsequent catscans did not show mass..intubation to see polyps done at colonoscopy, but not totally conclusive? I’m wondering if removal of appendix includes orifice, has to ??? Since that’s where polyps are?? So more later. Thank you

@bonnieb81 As I've said before I really admire your persistence!

If I were you, I would ask the surgeon those questions that you posted in the last two sentences. If you cannot talk with him personally, he should respond to a message on the patient portal.

Will you let me know when you have a surgery date?

Bonnie, I feel for You! I have learned in the last 21 years to GET IN THEIR FACE!! February 1999 I was diagnoised with Stage IV colon cancer in the Sigmoid section of my colon. No question I had it removed ASAP. Long story short they could not get it all! Had chemo that almost killed me!
After that I have had nuermorus other hosiptalistions! I have learned through all of this to STAND UP FOR YOURSELF AND SAY YOU WANT A BETTER ANSWER!
As a survivor of 21 years I have done a fair amount of research on colon cancer! I have never heard of colon cancer being on the appendix except with Stage IV! I would really ask them what they are talking about!
In the last two and a half between my current fight with Lyme disease and my wife having a stroke I have FIRED 6 doctors for not giving me the stright info! I do it to their FACE!
Social Comment; We as Baby Bommers, were taught not to questions doctors! My comment now is they are not like the doctors we grew up with! Medicine has Changed, and not for the better! I have had old time doctors tell me that also!
Blessings from The Land of Enchantment!
