hi everyone was diagnosed 7/1/11with renal cell carcanoma also stomach carcanoma bit a shock as didnt feel bad just run down so went to see gp who was concerned about blood in stools had for approx 5 weeks.i took no notice thinking it was something i was eating or drinking next day blood tests on morning gp tried to phone me from 12oclock same day as i was to be admitted to hospital straight away arrived at hospital at 6pm .only had to wait short time for a bed saw doctor who said i needed blood and tests ,over the next 7days had 2 ct scans a endoscopy which identified both tumors cryed like a baby when first told but now am more prepared for next part of procedures av appointment for dmsa scan on both kidneys as surgeon wants to make sure other kidney is functioning ok still waitng for eus biopsy on stomach tumor surgeon hopes to do both ops at same time .the worst part is the waiting also family seem to take it worse than me as my outlook is why worry about something you cannot do anything about ,also my mother lived with cancer fro almost 20 yrs off and on .whats most annoying is the family wont let me do any lifting and carrying also keep checking up on how i feel everyday i now they do this out love for me so i suppose that makes me very lucky also very happy at the same time.just thought id share this with whoever wants to read this also anyone know recovery time post op
