    Appendix
    Someone told me that they always take the appendix during debuling surgery. I wonder if that is true. I know they took mine, but it was cancerous.

    Tethys41 mine was cancerous also.
    I am glad they took my appendix out with my debulking surgery. Mine was also cancerous with a rare aggressive cancer. I was blessed that it was a stage 1, grade 3, goblet cell type carcinoid.

    It is always nice...
    to dodge a bullet. Susan, It's great that they caught it and got rid of it.
