My partner had kidney cancer 5years ago and was treated straight away by removing half the kidney.
His CT scan confirms the cancer and has spread to his pancrease, lungs and liver. He can feel the tumar on one side(possible liver) and determining really fast. He had his biopsy and still waiting for results let alone have any treatment.
The investigation is taking so long (almost 3months) and I can see him literally dying right before my eyes while desperately waiting for some answers and treatment.
CT scan results:
New appearance pf scattered solid pulmonary nodules, hyperhancing hepatic mases and pancreatic tail mass. Suggestive of palmonary hepatic and pancreatic metastatic. Metastasis RCC should be considered.
What stage does that look like? What do I do? His getting weaker by the day now he can't even talk. I have contacted the department at Queens hospital and they say nothing can be done since the results from biopsy has not arrived!
Someone please help and advice. Am I going to loose him soon? Why are they raking so long? Is it coz it's too late? Do we still have chance of cure?
Ps he is 59 turning 60 in few months.
