Hello Nannieblue
Welcome to Macmillan cancer forums, it's the place to be for help and information. I am sorry to find you here and hope you can find the information you need.
The Community is divided up into cancer forums and I would advise you to join the kidney cancer forum. If you click on the link I have provided Kidney cancer forum and then "join" at the bottom of the page you will be able to either copy and paste your post or just add a new post.
You will find plenty of people there happy to help and you can also read other people's posts regarding their personal kidney cancer journey.
I hope this helps and you find the information you need - if you need any further help please don't hesitate to come back to me.
Best wishes - Brian.
