Suggest Treatment For Carcinoid Appendix Cancer
one year ago I was diaginosed with carcinoid malignant cancer of the appendeix, but still have to have scans every 3-6 months cuz of carcinoid syndrome.. but anyways 1week ago I had my gallbladder removed at local small hospital and doctor said my gallbladder was embedded into my liver and he had to dig it out..he did it laparoscopitc.. so my ? is why did my gallbladder get embedded into my liver? and could it be the carcinoid? and my stomach is still swollen as before..thank you

Hi
Carcinoid appendix cancer needs to be treated by 3 cycles of chemotherapy followed by ct scan of whole abdomen.
If disease remains stable then 3 more cycles are needed but if progresses then second line chemotherapy needs to be planned.
