Hi Julie, I was diagnosed with Appendix cancer in February this year. I am 44 years old and I have a 20 yo daughter and a 14 yo son. They thought that in December 2012 I had appendicitis (so they thought). They removed my appendix, but they cut it in half before they removed it and said that some jelly like substance had oozed out of it. Two months later they contacted me and advised that I had Appendiceal Mucinous Neoplasm. My GP and Local Hospital have never had a case before. So you are not alone. There just isn't many of us ad the information on this cancer is limited. Please feel free to message me. Don't know if I can give you any information but here for a chat anyway.

Sunnyqld I have Neuropathy in my feet and hands. About a month ago I was diagnosed a new drug for the pain "Lyrica". I don't know if it would be of any help, but you could ask your Doctor. This is the first pain treatment I have had that actually works. Take Care Starcee ... View more

Hello Stitch, Sorry it has taken so long for me to get back to you. So where are you with the cancer now? Do you have ongoing treatment or check ups? Would you be able to give me a run down of your journey so far? If any of this is too personal or painful to talk about I understand. I live at Rosewood. So not too far from you. With me the Ipswich Surgeon is doing the "wait and watch". Had my appendix removed in December 2012. February 2013, they tell me it is cancer. April 2013 they go in for another look. And now I have to wait until December 2013 when they want to go in and have another look. When they took my Appendix out in December, they cut my Appendix in half before they removed it. So yippee, the cancer was already secreting out of my appendix and then they go and cut it in half and spill it inside my abdomen. I am extremely anxious about it all. Any advice you have for dealing with this "crap" would be most appreciated. Take care Starcee. ... View more
