Hi All,
Just been diagnosed this week with cancer on my left kidney 4.5cm in size. Awaiting results of chest and abdominal scan to ensure that there is no other cancer and then being referred to a partial removal, luckily it sits nicely on the bottom of the kidney so they said it’s about the best place it could be for removal.
Not sure it’s really sunk in yet, can’t wait for the new scan results so I know for definite the rest of me is fine, then I guess the long wait for the surgery appointment.
It’s all just so scary having to wait all the time. I’ve also got AS and have been on immunosuppressants for a long time now and been told I have to come of those which is already effecting my knees and back severely.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
