Appendix Cancer Awareness Month 2022 - An interview with Dr. Paul Sugarbaker

[@kennyesposito6477]

Well just had my appendix removed as at first we / they thought I was having an appendicitis. The laparoscopy surgery went really well or at least for the first two weeks we thought it had and then my surgeon called and asked to see me right away. I shall never forget that feeling when he told me that he was sorry to tell me he had some bad news for me and that I had appendix cancer. Simply put my mind shut down as I asked what is appendix cancer as I had never ever heard of it before. Well as I right this my surgery is only one week away and I am extremely anxious and maybe just a tad scared. LOL Doc I cannot thank you enough for the extremely informative video as it has really helped better understand and answer so many questions that I had but was afraid to ask

Thank you so much for your very detailed explanation, now I am prepared to undergo treatment for LAMN II and PMP here in Germany. It was an incidental finding at my gynecologist, later histologically confirmed after laparoscopy, where the appendix was removed. I wish you all the Best and good health, Dr. Sugarbaker !!!

Thank you Dr. Sugarbaker. I’m waiting for my consultation at the University of Iowa. PMP. Watching THE expert talk about the process helps me relax.
