Hi everyone.
I have at last after 6.5 very long months I have been offered surgery at Belfast City hospital.
Absolutely terrified, going for another Cat scan today, as I have a lot of pain and pressure on my left side, my tumour was completed enclosed in my kidney, 5.5cms.and hadn't spread. At that time, so hopefully it still hasn't.
I was told on the phone that Kidneys have no pain receptors so now I'm worried that it's spread, I have also lost weight have orange poop.
I have called my doctor on numerous occasions to request another scan but the waits are horrendous, so booked to have a private MRI, and then I got the call.
So first covid test today upload.
Let's get this alien out !!
Smiles, isn't it awful, I was told June July August September, it horrendous but I can't blame the NHS there so short staffed in NI
