Hello, My husband has been diagnosed with kidney cancer today and we can’t stop crying, he had a blood tests and a CT scan on Friday and the doctor informed us in a telephone call and we are awaiting a letter for him to go in for a biopsy, I’m so scared how long this will take due to COVID 19.
Hi and welcome to the Online Community, although I am sorry to see you finding us and so sorry to hear about your husbands diagnosis.
A cancer diagnosis in normal circumstances can bring a lot of confusion, stress and many many questions but this is made just that touch harder due to Covid but talking with people who are on the same type of journey can help a lot so can I direct you to our very supportive Kidney cancer group
