I went to the dr. today because the meds he gave me to sleep dont work. He gave me something else to try which should help with the anxiety. I also asked if he thought anyone would do an elective appendectomy on me. I got a referral to see a gastroenterologist to discuss it. The way I look at it is this,..... you have incresed odds of getting breast cancer if you mother has it. You have an increased risk of colon cancer if you have a relative with it. Who knows if appendix cancer carries those same increased odds. I want my appendix out before it has a chance to get cancer. I dont think thats so wrong. Appendectomies are done laproscopic now and the recovery is minimal. I need to make the appt though to discuss it which i guess I will do Monday since everyone is closed now.
