Looking to chat with others about Appendix Cancer

Hi everyone, I'm Diane,

 

Looking to chat to others regarding Appendix cancer, diagnosed Sept 2017, had chemo. All went well.

 

Now in Sept 2020 cancer had spread through to the ovary. 10cm tumour removed and full hysterectomy. My chemo nurse now waiting to hear from doctors for advice on what happens next. Hoping I might not require chemo, as they say it's all been removed. Feeling so anxious at present and the waiting is the hardest.

  • Hello Hollylola71

    I'm sorry to hear that you've had a recurrence of your appendix cancer. It's good to hear that the Consultants felt that all was removed in your recent surgery. 

    I think lots of our members here will understand the concerns and anxieties that come with the prospect of needing chemo. Hopefully you will have some news and reassurance from the team soon. 

    As I'm sure you know, appendix cancer is quite rare but we do have this thread here which has been active with members this year. I'm sure if you posted there you would recieve a response. 

    You're also most welcome to give our team of nurses a call to talk things through. They're available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040. 
    Do keep in touch and let us know how you get on. 

    Best wishes,
