Had my first consultation, following diagnosis and second scan. Huge relief that the cancer is isolated to one kidney, so he seems optimistic that removal of the kidney will sort it. Now the wait for 4 weeks for surgery, I’m sure it will fly by. I feel I am now in a position to tell my daughter as there are now answers to some questions, and the other questions cannot be answered until the kidney removed and biopsy done.
Very sorry to hear what you're up against. Having a similar experience, although my consultation got cancelled yesterday. I was also informed that there is no evidence of spread. I have a 8cm cyst with lesions and most likely Bosniak 3/4. Learning a new language with all the terminology! Also will have the one kidney removed Hope all goes smoothly for you.
Hi
I hope you both get your kidneys removed and recovery goes well.
good luck
