Heard today that I could have suspected  kidney or testicular or prostate cancer today.

I could not wee but after 1 minute, all blood. 

I have an appointment  22nd of June after waiting 8 months. I am in panic now - am 88 years and don't know what to do. Cannot sleep now for days.

Anybody who could tell me how I can solve this?

  • Hello  

    A warm welcome to the online Community, although I am so sorry to find you joining us. 

    First off if you find you are still having issues in the "waterworks" department and can't pass water you need to call 111 for advice or call into your local A & E department - if you are having serious issues or in pain go to a 999 cal right away. 

    As for lack of sleep and anxiety, this is caused by not knowing just what the cause of the problem is. I am sure on 22 June you will have more information and hopefully a plan to move forward with investigations and treatment.

    Do call our Support Line on 0808 808 00 00 (8am to 8pm 7 days a week) and they will be able to help you with your anxiety and sleep issues.

    Do keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We do have specific groups to help you should you end up with a diagnosis of cancer.

    Best wishes - Brian.
