Roughly three weeks ago was diagnosed with what they believe from my scan to be a cyst on my left kidney contains cancer cells early stages, they want to remove it by keyhole surgery. I'm waiting for the appointment for the op, the wait for the appointment is really causing me anxiety, and because of covid-19 there is a back log so long waiting list, I'm just concerned that at minute I'm early stage, and the op should be only treatment needed, but if wait too long will need other treatments, sorry
Hello and welcome to the community at what we know must be an anxious time for you. Many of us will know the emotions you will be going through at present.
