Mum Diagnosed with Cancer of the Appendix

Hi, My mum has been diognosed with cancer of the appendix and it has spread to her overies at least. Unfortunatly she has a heart condition and has been told that an operation is not possible... how long can she survive, and what if any treatment can she expect?

  • Hello DesHome

    I'm sorry to hear about your Mum's recent diagnosis and that the Consultant feels surgery isn't appropraite for her. 

    Appendix cancer is quite rare and so you might like to give our team of nurses a call for some advice and information. I'm sure that they will be able to offer some support. If you'd like to call them they are available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    Best wishes,
