My Dad had a total nephrectomy in Feb 24. He was only in hospital for two days and was up and at 'em within 4-6 weeks. He was 88 then.
Fast forward to Jan this year and his follow up scans showed a very small, slow growing tumour on his lung. His health wasn't affected and at 90 he is still very active, able and independent.
For the last two months his left foot has been going dead and this is now having a massive impact on his ability to walk any length and he even struggles to stand on it sometimes. There is no pain, he just says it feels dead.
The GP feels it may be mechanical but I am concerned it is cancer related. It is now becoming a daily problem and he has become unbalanced and fallen on at least two occasions (that he's told me about!). Should I ring the renal cancer nurses and have a chat with them or would that be wasting their time?
