Hi,
My dad was diagnosed with a very large kidney tumour. He underwent an open radical nephrectomy last week where they had found it had unfortunately spread out the kidney into the stomach wall. Fast forward another week my dad had been having problems with his bowel so they did a CT scan where they found more of the same tumour behind the colon which they had manage to miss during the surgery. My dad had more surgery yesterday where they removed more tumour from the colon and also found that it had perforated the colon so he now has a temporary colostomy bag.
My question is does anyone have anymore information about kidney tumours metastasizing into the colon as from what I can gather this is extremely rare. We have to wait for the results from the pathology to come back but the doctor yesterday said it was an aggressive cancer.
Many thanks.
