Hello
so I’ve had surgery to remove my kidney and the tumour attached it was large at 9/10 cm the took surrounding tissue and my result have come back as clear margins but with a pt3a they said I can have treatment if I wish but if I do and later down the line they find cancer that I won’t be able to have all of the treatment because I’ve had some before so I’m totally confused what to do I scared there might be cancer in the tissue they didn’t take so I just don’t know what to do any advice ??
Hi Donnakatie and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
I’m Anne, one of the Community Champions here on the Online Community, and although I've had chemotherapy it was for a different type of cancer.
The online community is divided into different support groups so I'm going to recommend that you join the kidney cancer group as you'll then connect directly with others who have the same type of cancer as you.
To join, just click on the link I've created and, once you've joined, you can start a new post in the same way as you did here and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.
It would be great if you could put something about your diagnosis and proposed treatment into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
