Hi im not new to the site but new to this group, 3 years ago this month I was diognosed with chromophobe renal cell carcinoma, I had my left kidney removed with no further treatment needed other than yearly checks, July 2025 after a ct scan for an unrelated problem a small 6mm nodule was found in lower left lung which is being monitored, then 4 days ago I got woke up in very bad pain in lower left back going round into groin after ending up going to a&e due to pain and a ct scan it was found i had a fracture of the pelvic bone & as id not had a fal or accident & with my cancer history a MRI was ordered of my pelvis, hips & thigh bones which has shown bone cancer in the area or my fracture which has weakened the bone causing a pathological fracture but consultant also says my lung nodule is most likely cancer too which both have spread from my previous kidney cancer, now just waiting for oncology to sort plan etc, has anyone bern through similar & what treatment plans did you have? I know it will be different for each person but jyst wsnt an idea of whats to come 

  • Hi shellyBon

    I am sorry that you have not yet had a reply to your post but sometimes it can just take a little longer for someone in similar circumstances to see it and respond.

    My cancer was different to yours, so I hope it is ok to reply but by doing so it will bump your post. 

    I am sorry that you have recently found out that you have some secondary cancer in your pelvis and a lung nodule. I hope that you are able to see your consultant quickly and to have some clarification about a treatment plan. 

    While you are waiting for a response to your post why not give the Support Line a call and talk things through with one of the nurses. It may help in that you can prepare any questions you may have for your up coming oncology appointment.

  • Hi, I have thyroid cancer which has spread to my lungs and spine. I am having scans every four months to monitor and am taking levothyroxine to shrink (but not cure) the tumors. It's a very scary diagnosis and I'm sorry you are going through this. I hope you have someone you can talk to.
