Seromucinous borderline ovarian tumour

Following my laparotomy surgery last month (total hysterectomy, oophorectomy, appendectomy and omentum biopsy) I got the all clear. My frozen section and final pathology were both seromucinous borderline ovarian tumour stage 1a. Thank goodness for our fabulous NHS.

Are these statistics available here: average, youngest, oldest age at DX?

I am my PCP oldest patient who had an appendectomy and he is no spring chicken! A lot of med insurance has age restrictions for a lot of tests. Besides ignoring PCa ourselves, about the only commercials about it are peddling some medication.

AS accumulates in the appendix.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33876851/ the human appendix contains an abundance of insoluble α-synuclein similar to what has been found in the PD brain  appendectomy occurring decades before disease onset was protective against PD.

Pelvic MRI - does it cover abdomen too?

Second Menopause?

This necessitated a total hysterectomy and appendectomy, fortunately both tumours were benign. In 2021 I started to have weight gain (not experienced previously) which I’ve not been able to completely lose and some hot flashes.

Appendectomy and PA

Curious if anyone here has also had an appendectomy and then, thinking back on it, presented PA symptoms a short time later? Thank you. And I'm an American. Seems I'm one of the few, but it's good to be here.

Treating recurrence with Doxil: Side Effects?

Prior to chemo I had a complete hysterectomy, omentectomy, appendectomy, and transverse colon resection. I now have a recurrence, with a tumor near the sigmoid colon and rectum. There is no surgery or radiation treatment they can do for this.

Not treated

Liver biopsy during gall bladder & appendectomy surgery. Diagnosed, not treated. Anyone hear been prescribed medication for this? Is it common for the gastro surgeon to not treat after diagnosis and send you on your way with only diet instructions? I weighed 150 at the time 2019 and now 170.

Appendix Removal and B12

I previously saw a reply mention that B12 deficiency could happen after having an appendectomy (maybe gone wrong?). I am wondering if anyone has any information on this? I am unable to find the comment now, but would love to know more.

I’m particularly worried about any abdominal surgery as I’ve already got scars from an appendectomy and epigastric hernia repair and want to make sure I see someone who can minimise scarring and also get me out of this horrific pain.

Open Appendectomy Recovery Advice — Is my dad healing? What do I look out for now?

It was an open appendectomy so I realize it’s a big surgery. It has now been 4.5 days after the surgery, we are still in the hospital (not ICU); I want to make sure we are on the right track and not missing anything. I love my dad very much and want the best for him.
