Hi everyone I had a radical nephrectomy on the 4th of July I'm still waiting for my follow up appointment, I found a page of my discharge papers a couple of days ago which states, my tumour size being 6cm but the scan had in May at diagnosis stayed it was 5.1cm it's a bit scarey
Hi carol19, kidney cancer is notoriously indolent, ie it's slow growing.
Thank you buttetcup that's reassuring I will let you know the histology when i finally get my follow up appointment it's now been 10 weeks I've rang them twice x
10 weeks!!
Yes I'm starting to get scared there's something they don't want to tell me !! X
Don’t worry Carol. Easier said than done I know but the days of doctors keeping secrets are long gone.
Thank you Samuel i hope so , but they really should not keep someone waiting and worrying for so long it's really not on x
