Hi, Still recovering from a nephrectomy and lymph node dissection on the 23rd May, biopsies say kidney tumour cancerous and some of the lymph nodes removed also affected, I had another CT scan on Saturday for oncology to decide if any further treatment is required. In my head it’s gone (is this denial?) but hearing the C word again has frightened me all over again , I feel like I did when they first told me they found a tumour.
Hi Cooper,
I hope your general recovery is going well. I too am on the mend after having a nephrectomy.
Good you've had a scan already and they should be able to let you know quickly what the next step is. Once they do i'm sure you will settle down again. It's the not knowing that built up inside me that i found hard to cope with. And i think many other people are similar.
Do update us when you get your result or plan for next steps and let us know how your feeling. I find it does help to let it out so to speak just like you've done with this post. Good on you and fingers crossed....Del.
