Hi everyone I found this forum on line after looking for someone to talk to one night. I’ve been diagnosed with a kidney tumour in June this year and since then I feel like I’ve been forgotten. I had a ultrasound done which found a mass then had a cat scan which diagnosed a 3-4cm tumour on my right kidney. I saw the surgeon and was sent for pre op but since then nothing. I live with my 16 year old daughter so I don’t want to say to much to her as not to upset her. I watched both my parents die of different cancers and I can’t say I’m not scared of what might be to come. I just feel alone scared and confused. I try to be as normal as possible around my daughter and son so that they don’t get worried but when I’m on my own that’s when it hits me. Please can someone tell me if they have felt the same and how they deal or dealt with it I would really appreciate the help thanks in advance.
welcome to the online community, sorry you've had to come and find us
feelings are normal, I assure you I went through a massive range of emotions, I've heard them referred to as a grieving process, shock, denial, disbelief, anger, sadness, confusion, blaming /bargaining etc.
Am I right in thinking you've not had any further treatment ???
A pre op suggests they were expecting to surgically remove the mass on your kidney ?
