Good morning.
My husband got diagnosed recently after a lung scan incidentally showed a kidney mass.
He had a biopsy and it is 7cm stage 2.
After several months and lots of tests the mdt team have decided to do active monitoring. The anaesthetic team said because of other conditions. Mainly emphysema and heart disease he is not fit for any surgery.
My concern is how quickly does this type of cancer grow?
My husband is so depressed it's destroying our lives.
Any help would be appreciated
Teresa
