appendicitis or not?

I have recently been experiencing right side pain and mentioned it to my GP. He sent me for a CT which confirmed mild appendicitis. Don't have typical appendicitis symptoms other than pain and some nausea. My doc says to get it taken out. I went for a consult with a general surgeon and he said he isn't 100% that's my appendix since I don't have all the acute symptoms. He said there is no such thing as chronic appendicitis and my doc says "oh yes there is". UGH...I am going to another top notch surgeon in Boston for a second opinion on Thursday? Any thoughts?

There is such a think as a chronic appendicitis (its an appendicitis that progresses relatively slowly).  It is best to have it removed because if it bursts it can become life-threatening.
