  • Thankyou jules so kind of you xxx

  • It was reported in the news about 2 months ago as a future possibility. It's not standard yet, or offered to everyone.  It was muted as a possible screening test for any cancer.   Let me see if I can find the link for you.  

    Edit on 25th April: I found the link to the Guardian newspaper articles and posted it here.  They must have been subsequently deleted.  

  • Thankyou ye consultant said I need it doing because of my age and family history of cancer. Think I'm the first for kidney cancer tho x
