MY GI wants to do a partial Colectomy

Hello everyone.  I am in need of some advise.  In july of this year, I went to the ER due to lower right ab pain.  It turns out my appendix needed to be removed.  During surgery, they found a very rare tumor, muscinous cytsadeoma, which is a tumor that produces mucous.  The appendix was removed, along with the tumor, but the surgeon recommended a colonsocpy just because  the tumor left a medium amount of mucous behind at the surgical margin.  

The colonoscopy came back PERFECT!  No mucous, no polyps, no NOTHING!  YEAHHH!!!!  Well my GI doc who is a surgeon, is insisting I have a Colectomy anyways.  He feels that where the surgical margin is, that one day the mucous left behind can one day turn into cancer 5-10 years down the road.  

Here is my dilemma.  The original surgeon who did the procedure told me the mucous would be flushed out with a bowel movement.  This NEW surgeon, even not finding any mucous, insists it is still there.  So i have two surgeons with TWO different opinions.  I am so confused.

I know surgeons get paid by doing surgery.  I dont know if this is a surgery to just fill his pocketbook, or what.  I am going to get a third opinion, but wanted to know if anyone else, who is healthy, was told to have a Colectomy , "just in case".

Thanks!!!!!!

Please seek out another opinion and do some reading on the condition. Many of the reports on this form of cystadenoma (appendix) suggest it's a benign condition, although the adenoma can be mistaken for a cystadenocarcinoma and the other way around. (However the cystadenoma form in the ovary can be more problematic from the get-go.) You need to get the biopsy reports and talk to someone else.
