just looking for advice or support really unsure who to turn to or who to talk to..
In May my dad was given the devastating news that he had a 11.8cm tumour on his right kidney, and that there where some shadows on his left lung. Fast forward to 19th June my dad had a nephrectomy a
had his right kidney removed with everything surrounding it his adrenal gland and all the fat.. he has been recovering so well and looks amazing he managed to leave hospital after 3 nights.
Yesterday we went for our appointment at the oncologist where we was told the horrible news that the cancer was in fact in both lungs (lots of little white spots) and a 3.7cm tumour in the lower left lung. This has come as a massive shock to us as we thought we knew what we was dealing with but obviously not :( . We are now awaiting our appointment next week at the Chemo ward to start the Tivozanib tablets. Wondering if anyone has tried these and how things are going?
its definitely going to be a hard battle but we are going to give my dad all the love and support he needs to fight this awful cancer!
thank you for reading

Hello Danielle2018 and welcome to the community, although sorry to hear of the reason you are here. It must be hard for your dad after what he has been through and now getting this news. Great to know that you are doing what you can to support him. I am not familiar with Tivozanib, but I know most chemo regimens usually make people very tired and so dad will need your help around the house. regarding Tivozanib, there was a discussion about it earlier in this group. You can see it if you click HERE . You may even like to join the conversation. We also have another group here which you may find it helpful to join Family and Friends . There you can share and get support from others looking after loved ones. I hope all goes well for your dad. Best wishes to you and your family.
