Hi 
I’m new here.
What brings me here is a diagnosis, that I was totally unprepared for. Four weeks ago I was in hospital having had a hysterectomy. Whilst there, I had a CT scan, I think 
for pulmonary embolism. Next news they’re telling me they’ve seen something on my right kidney and a DR from the Urology Department will see me. They came, whilst I’m still whoozy from the oper
ion, and I couldn’t really take it all in, MDT meetings were mentioned, but it was all over my head. Anyway fast forward four weeks and I met the Consultant who said he was 95% sure it was cancerand the option was to have it removed. He said it had probably been there for about ten years!! I went for an ultrasound scan in November last year and got told it was a kidney stone!!! What thhell??? So now I’m looking at more surgery. I’ve just started to feel better , more like myself then wham!!! Sorry for the long post, but today I feel a bit down!!
Hi and a warm welcome to the online community
You're certainly entitled to feeling down after having a kidney cancer diagnosis when you're recovering from having a hysterectomy.
I see that you've found the kidney cancer group and I'm sure if you post there you will meet plenty of people who can answer your questions and give you support.

When you feel up to it, it would be really useful if could pop something about your journey so far into your profile as it helps others when answering or looking for someone with a similar diagnosis.
