LOL no. The Doc who did my colonoscopy would have said something. I asked her to look where my appendix was removed ahead of time. Not for grow back, just to see if she (Female doctor) saw anything odd. She just laughed and shook her head.

From BRAVE AI:

Appendix function
The appendix, a finger-like, blind-ended tube connected to the cecum, has long been considered a vestigial organ. However, recent research suggests it may serve important functions related to the immune system and gut health.

One proposed function is that the appendix acts as a “safe house” for beneficial gut bacteria. During gastrointestinal distress, such as a diarrhea episode, the appendix may protect these bacteria from being flushed out of the system. Once the gut is cleared, the bacteria can recolonize the digestive tract.
This theory is supported by studies indicating that the appendix may help in the re-inoculation of the gut with commensal bacteria after periods of illness.

Additionally, the appendix contains a high concentration of immune tissue, suggesting it plays a role in the immune system. It is believed to support the immune response against pathogens and may be involved in the maturation of B lymphocytes and the production of IgA antibodies.
The presence of gut-associated lymphoid tissue in the appendix further supports its potential role in immunity.

Evolutionary studies have shown that the cecal appendix has evolved independently in various mammalian species, indicating that it may provide an adaptive advantage. This includes roles in fortifying the body’s immune response and potentially aiding in the survival of beneficial gut bacteria.

In summary, while the appendix was once thought to be a vestigial organ, current research suggests it may have important functions in immune support and maintaining gut microbiome balance.

Anything....but The Thing™

Lessee ... what’ll they blame THIS ‘forgotten’ cancer, in young folks on? Seed oils? Climate? Unhealthy lifestyles?

Sheesh.

A high school classmate got this and passed in 2022...pretty quickly. She was 71. I’d never heard of this cancer until then. She was a volunteer at some of the navy/USMC hospitals in North Carolina. I would assume that they required full vaccinations for volunteers.

No one will address the elephant in the room. Anytime someone dies "unexpectedly" and someone in the comments asks if they took the vaxx, they are viciously attacked and still called a conspiracy theorist.

Here's hoping RFK Jr. will commission some double-blind placebo studies that prove Covid was used as the BS reason for cheat-by-mail-in ballots. It didn't matter if people's lives were being put at risk. Stealing 2020 from Trump took precedence over everything else.

Doubtful. But those likely did not help matters.

The reasons for this shift are complex and probably involve a mix of genetics, lifestyle, environment and perhaps even changes in our gut microbiome – the bacteria in our intestines that live with us.

Never heard of it but my guess would be diet and gut microbiome.

I think it is more of a lifestyle risk. The risks are likely along the same lines as those for any metabolic disease such as diabetes. I think your relative risk could be shown by the blood tests for inflammation.

And not to be too yucky. Normal bowel movements are a good sign that all is well in your digestive and elimination organs. So pay attention to your poop.

My wife is being treated for bread cancer. Her oncolgy nurses noted they have seen a huge increase in breast cancers in teens since covid.

The virus or vaccine? They don’t say other than the increase started when covid hit.

So many millions of people across the world were damaged by what Zelenko called the “poison death shots.” A crime against humanity.
