So had my appointment with Oncology this morning. They confirmed the renal Cancer but that it has also spread to my bones, specifically my spine. Feel numb to be honest and lots to ponder. 

Thankyou all for the messages you've sent.

Stu.

  • Hi Stu,

    Sorry to hear the  news from your appointment. I had seen your previous post and hoped for the best for you.

    Have they got a plan for you in place ? Treatment wise ?

    Also i haven't looked but i would think there is bone cancer forum too. I say this because i had a tumour in my bladder and a tumour on my kidney so i check out both 'Bladder' and 'Kidney cancer' forums and get a lot of info/support from the two.

    I felt numb too when i was first diagnosed. I felt there had been a mistake. Then gradually as i absorbed the issues i faced i was able to focus on everything to do with my condition. I hope you can soon.

    Good luck going forward. Remember you always have this forum to come to.

    All the best...Del.

  • Cheers Del. I feel a little better today. MDT meeting on Weds to put plan together. Got a couple of urgent scans booked for tomorrow.

  • Sorry to hear this Stu.

    Im just starting my journey and found out yesterday I have 1 met on my pelvis, no idea what size and one in my boob which the breast consultant said he can just pop out Rolling eyes.

    My mdt are meeting next Friday so hoping I have a plan.

    See my urologist Tuesday.

    If I can support in anyway I can, I will.

  • Hi Stu and Lissa, I like Del had been hoping for the best for you……..hopefully you will both get a plan soon.

    Let us know how you both get on….( if and when you feel up to it).

    Big hugs, Jules xx

  • Hi Jules 

    I have my MRI tomorrow to check pelvic lymph nodes but not sure what they will see as I had some removed when I had a hysterectomy last year.

    Bloods Monday.

    Last pieces of the jigsaw then out together.

    Urologist confirmed its up to oncologist to decide whether my bone or boob gets fixed first.

    Fingers crossed this time next week I will have a treatment plan.
