New to the group

Hi Ac87 

I’m Anne, one of the Community Champions here on the Online Community and, although I'm not a member of this group, I noticed that your post hadn't had any replies yet. Responding to you will 'bump' it back to the top of the discussion list again.

If you don't get any replies here, it might be an idea to also post in the kidney cancer group, which I can see you've joined, as you may find people with the same type of cancer as your son there. 

While you're waiting for replies, it would be great if you could put something about your son's diagnosis and proposed treatment into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.

Hi Ac87, I'm so sorry you find yourself here. My adult daughter has just finished two years of cancer treatment. She's single so I've been her support. It's been very tough but has hopefully been successful.

I have no experience of Wilms tumour but do know that the medical team will be skilled, experienced and will want the very best for your little boy. You have to trust them. This is the toughest time, when it's all so new. I know - I was beyond desperate. Once a treatment plan is in place and starts, you will cope. However tough it is, you will know it's fighting this horrible disease.

Do keep talking to the medical staff, CNS nurses are wonderful. Other parents will also be a good support. Keep posting here.

Sending you love, strength and a big hug. xxx
