Likely good: The most important questions are: was it fully removed at the time of the first operation, and how long have you been cancer-free since your operation and chemotherapy? The prognosis for well-differentiated tumors is far better than for poorly differentiated appendiceal cancer. And if you have been cancer-free for over two years after a complete cancer removal, then your outlook is good.
