Just bad luck

OK then. Nobody thinks the app'y was anything but random, and nobody cares about the gallstones.  Kind of saw that coming.

Appendix no more

Had it out last week, thankfully before it ruptured. They also found gallstones, which my internet sleuthing tells me may be at least partially due to my hormone therapy.

While I'm not thrilled about the prospect of another operation, the idea of having a trouble-free GI track for the first time in my life is quite appealing.

Seeing GP today. Awaiting word from surgeon and oncologist.
