hello my mom's appendix has a tumor and already removed but sad to say the biopsy result of the. tumor they found a stage2B cancer in the tumor. please give me some explanation about this type of cancer thank you so much
I'm sorry to hear that your mom is dealing with this, and you as her son. Since every single patient is different, all I can tell you is that she absolutely needs a surgical oncologist appendix cancer specialist, and probably a few consultations with different ones, to make sure she feels comfortable with the one she chooses.Do you know what the pathology is yet? LAMN, HAMN, Goblet Cell, Signet Ring, etc? The best places to learn about appendix cancer are acpmp.org and pmppals.net and patients and caregivers must be their own advocates through this, so the more you know, the better!
You don't get Lyme's Disease because you have cancer. You get Lyme's Disease from a bite by an infected tick. And cancer is mostly just random, according to my brother who is a radiation oncologist. Everyone wants to think that something causes cancer, but mostly, that is not true. Appendiceal cancer is very rare. The actress Audrey Hepburn died of it. No one knows what causes it.
My meaning was a bit understood there... We know in my case due to genomic testing that I have a high PDL1 expression. My immune system is my weak link. What I meant, but am not the great at putting into words, was that my body maybe could not fight of lyme and co-infections as easily as other bodies could, so I don't know if that contributed to me getting lyme disease, a weakened immune system and that could be why it was so difficult for me to fight. My entire body was weakened by all of the treatments, and that could have made it worse for the lyme and co infections because I already had cancer, or it could have contributed to the cancer as well. We do not know and will never know.
