I should have been going into hospital tomorrow to have a 5cm tumour removed from my right kidney.
Last week I had my pre op and a thorax and abdomen Ct scan.
Call in Friday from nurse to advise that the scan found an enlarged spleen and as such op canceller pending further investigation.
Worried that it may spread to there and that’s why cancelled. Hardly slept since.
it’s weird but even before diagnosis I’ve had a nagging pain under left rib and all the way up back. Never had and pain in right where tumour is.
Anyone else had similar experiences?
Anth
Morning sorry to hear your op was cancelled I remember you said you were supposed to have it on Monday from my posts. I’m wishing you all the best
Well just had call from my nurse.
They finally heard back from haematology. I may actually have lymphoma instead so next step is to have a kidney biopsy to confirm if it is or not kidney cancer.
so confused
Well tomorrow’s the day. Biopsy. Anyone had one ?
Good luck, I haven’t had one I had my whole kidney removed 10 days ago. I just didn’t want to read and leave
Hello Anth
I had a biopsy way back in 2021 at the Freeman and it went fine. I had to wait a few hours after the procedure to go home which was a bit of a pain. But all went smoothly.
glad I took a good book.
let us know how you get on x
Biopsy. Anyone had one ?
