Hi what I thought was a uti now seems to be kidney cancer according to urologist. 10cm and awaiting various scans, can anyone tell me how quickly they will happen
Once I was diagnosed it all happened within 6 weeks. Mine was 12cm and had a radical surgery to remove all the kidney open surgery. I am now waiting to see oncologist to discuss further treatment as mine was stage 3 (pT3a) and I have a very small lesion on upper R lung. Hope this helps.
I went to my doc for over 3 months with pain below, I had enough one ay and went to A&E they tried to put it down to a STD which I strognly told them there was more chance of me being GOD than that, I demanded something be done. The Doc referred me to get a ultrasound below, when they did this they checked my sides at same time and this is when they found the tumour. From that day to getting diagnosed was about a month. My op was done about 2 months later but that was due to me having a holiday booked,
