Should I Be Concerned About An Ulcer That Is Causing Pain?

I have been having pain in my right side , off and on since my appendectomy 3/13/12. I have had 4 Cat-Scans and one colonoscopy with another scheduled in one week and my surgeon says I have an ulcer where the appendix was.
What should I be worried about?
