I am already on my third stent, still troubled by symptoms. And my oncologist seems convinced this is not related to the appendix cancer. If you would rather reply directly, my email is wwebert @ yahoo . com.

Of the over 700 patients I've communicated with who have been diagnosed with appendix cancer, only one has been diagnosed with yet another rare cancer (before she was diagnosed with appendix cancer). I have known of a few who had bile duct problems and who have needed stents, but related to appendix cancer, not another new cancer. <br /><br />I don't know if that helps you?<br /><br />I truly wish you the best,<br /><br />CarolynCarolyn Langlie-Lesnik RN BSN MSNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16809251183587926473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4377218771506051065.post-70960026626369668262010-02-16T21:31:59.391-06:002010-02-16T21:31:59.391-06:00Hello Carolyn,
I've commented in the past, now...Hello Carolyn,<br />I've commented in the past, now I have a question for you as a medically informed expert. I'm a little over two years into a signet ring stage 4 diagnosis, still in watch and wait mode. However, a CT scan showed a spot in an unusual place - my bile duct - and I had bile duct blockage symptoms. Now suddenly I have a swarm of doctors testing me incessantly for cholangeocarcinoma (all biopsies negative so far). Have you run across anything in your research or reading to indicate any connections, or anything that refers to constellations of rare cancers? This has me mystified - and it seems to have my doctors mystified too.<br />Karen EbertKaren Ebertnoreply@blogger.com
