Hi 

I have had Cancer for 2 years, I had a Radical Nephrectomy in 2023, with ongoing  CT Scans and further Lymph Node removal. However I have 2 small lesions on my lung. But still no mention of any therapy, is this normal or should I be worried. I’m scared it’s going to spread even more. I was told at the start that any future Immunotherapy would be Palliative.

  • Hi Choccylab,

    If you are worried about the lung lesions, could you contact your support nurse, if you have one, or your oncologist's secretary, to arrange to have a discussion about it?

    Immunotherapy or targetted therapy drugs can be used to control the lesions. Yes, it is classed as palliative treatment, not curative, but many people have had very successful results on these treatments. Please don't worry too much!

    Maybe you are being monitored so that treatments can be introduced if and when needed. 

    Best wishes
