I saw the story this afternoon in the New York Post that probably best describes the cancer that I have. Here’s an excerpt from the story:
Adan Canto, who starred in “Designated Survivor” and “The Cleaning Lady,” died Monday following a private battle with appendiceal cancer.
Also called appendix cancer, appendiceal cancer is a very rare condition that has become more common in recent years.
One study found that the incidence of malignant appendiceal tumors increased by 232% in the US and 292% in Canada between 2000 and 2016.
About 1 in 3 appendix cancer patients are diagnosed before they turn 51, according to a recent report. Canto died this week at the age of 42.
Because appendix cancer is so rare — only a few thousand Americans are diagnosed each year — the research is not as abundant compared to other cancers.
