Appendix cancer

Hello anyone been diagnosed with appendix cancer in their 50s 

just been informed they have found incidental cancer from my appendix taken out early Dec 20 only informed last week just had colonoscopy- not nice biopsies taken now need a CT scan in next week for that - how long do you normally wait for results and the MDT to sort out a plan - surgeon says a right hemicolectomy ? 
not looking forward to that either - feel like my world has collapsed

    Hello

    I was diagnosed with appendix cancer in Sept 2017. Long story short.... right hemicolectomy, chemo and a year and a half back to work before it spread to ovary (hysterectomy) and now spread to the diaghram and bowel. Referred to specialist hospital for treatment. Now going through chemotherapy to reduce the spreading before HIPEC treatment. Been such a rollercoaster. Very rare. Good to speak to others that have went through this awful disease. :-(
