Hi Ladies,
I had appendicitis in Aug 07 and in Dec 07 I received a letter from my GP asking me to contact them urgently. I subsequently found out that I had a small carcinoid tumour on my appendix, which was quite rare - hence the amount of time in telling me.
The tumour was caused my a hormone produced by my appendix and as the appendix had been removed together with the tumour, no more treatment or problems were expected.
I then found my dreaded lump in Jan 08 - which I think was due to being more body aware due to my scare with the appendix.
My BC is extremely hormone sensitive and I just find it all too much of a coincidence. Both consultants have said that they are not related.
Just wondering if anyone else has come across this…? A bit odd I know!
Kate
