Evening everyone,
For those who don’t know my story, while having my tumour removed from my bladder they found a mass on my kidney…the urology team have said it’s a cyst but the kidney team want to know 100% what it is…so for the past 3 years Ive had a yearly ct scan on it to see if it’s growing or not..my kidney nurse has told me that they won’t do a biopsy on it until it gets to 2cm…so I got the results back today from this years scan and….its 1.9cm, still to small…
so another scan next year…on we go…
got a new asthma inhaler, apparently I’ve been taking the old one wrong for months…only a week in but my breathing seems to be improving…
Anxiety is very much up and down…still cant stick to healthy eating and regular exercise…but tomorrow is another day….
love to you all xxx

Watching and Waiting (Moody Blues) another 12 months. I hope your mass reduces by next year Nigel. Your right lad tomorrow is another day…. I met the surgeon who removed my kidney today. Six weeks post op- tempus fugit! All clear but Bladder flexible cystoscopy in 3 months and Pet Scan in six months. Golf very soon but Friday Curry night imminent. Guinness 0 and a couple of glasses of vino tinto. Stay well
