So here I am sitting with mixed emotions. I had a biopsy on my womb which showed precancerous cells,had a ct scan to show if there’s any cancer already in the womb,I freaked out completely with the mri. Anyway Thursday nervously went to see the gynaecologist only to be told although there’s no obvious sign of cancer in the womb I have a large mass on one of my kidneys. I spent 4-5 days ignoring it and throwing myself on autopilot into doing everything else. I’m now sitting here overthinking what the next step might be. I know I’ve been referred to a urologist and after they have a MDT will be contacted but anxiety is getting the better of me.
Hi Photomadchick and welcome to the Online Community although I am sorry to see you joining us and to hear about your ongoing diagnoses. This part of the process can be such a stressful and challenging time but when it comes to support there is nothing better than talking with others who are on the exact same cancer and treatment journey.
The Community is divided into support groups (discussion rooms) so can I suggest that you consider joining our supportive Kidney cancer group. This is a safe place to talk to others who may have a similar diagnosis, treatment experience, to ask questions and get support.
If you'd like to connect in with a group click on the Green (Bold) link(s) I have created above. Once the group page opens click on the black banner that says [click to join] at the bottom, or the [Join] button under "Group tools."
You can then introduce yourself by putting up a ‘new post’ by clicking in the box near the top right with + New or + (Depending on the device you are using) and you are ready to go. You could copy and paste the text from this post into your new post.
Macmillan have many support services so do check out the Macmillan Support Line open 8am-8pm (timings may differ across services) 7 days a week on 0808 808 00 00. These services provide cancer information, practical information, emotional support or just a listening ear.
Talking to people face to face can be very helpful so do check to see if you have any Local Macmillan Support in your area, do also check for a local Maggie's Centre as these folks are amazing and aim to give support to all the family.
Do get back to me if you need further help.
All the very best.
