&lt;p&gt;after getting over the initial shock, i&amp;rsquo;ve continued leading my life as best I can and wait for the next step.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;when the time comes it may be necessary for me to be on some treatment which is a bit of a scary prospect but you have to take each step at a time and try and remain positive for as long as possible although there are bad days as well as good days&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/aggbug?PostID=720168&amp;AppID=31303&amp;AppType=Weblog&amp;ContentType=0" width="1" height="1"&gt;</content><author><name>Former Member</name><uri>https://community.macmillan.org.uk/members/formermember</uri></author><category term="Lesions" scheme="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/kidney_cancer/archive/tags/Lesions" /><category term="adrenal" scheme="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/kidney_cancer/archive/tags/adrenal" /><category term="recurrence" scheme="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/kidney_cancer/archive/tags/recurrence" /><category term="CT Scan" scheme="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/kidney_cancer/archive/tags/CT%2bScan" /><category term="Steroid" scheme="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/kidney_cancer/archive/tags/Steroid" /></entry><entry><title>Kidney Removal</title><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/kidney_cancer/posts/kidney-removal" /><id>https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/kidney_cancer/posts/kidney-removal</id><published>2022-02-26T15:14:00Z</published><updated>2022-02-26T15:14:00Z</updated><content type="html">&lt;p&gt;I&amp;rsquo;m getting my kidney removed on Tuesday, I keep getting told the embolus at ion is the worst part.

&lt;p&gt;I am new to this site and was introduced to you by a very good friend.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My gran was diagnosed with kidney cancer a couple of weeks ago and I am hoping that you will be able to give me some advice as she is 92 years old, but otherwise in excellent health and she has been given the option of having her kidney removed which she has chosen. &amp;nbsp;Anyway I will probably be better to post more information in the forum regarding her situation but I just wanted to say hello and that I am looking forward to getting to know you.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
