Hello there, I'm new but have lurked these passed few weeks and gained a lot, so thank you.
Following at CT scan which found a tumour on my right kidney I had it removed in December.
I went to see the consultant yesterday and got the histology results. And the all clear. Follow up scan in May and regular scans tailing off.
The only bit I'm concerned about is the grade of tumour, grade 4, the most aggressive. This is the grade not the stage. It is a stage 1 cancer.
I asked about immunotherapy but he said that would be several stages down the line. I could never be a candidate for chemotherapy due to impaired kidney function.
So in summary I'm very pleased with the results but I am concerned about the aggressive nature of the tumour.
Any thoughts?
