Biopsy

Hi Mark and welcome to the Online Community. I'm not from this group so can't really answer your question so hopefully others will be along soon to reply.

Having said that it would very much depend on the speed of your local hospital trust. The Urologist's secretary being unable to tell you anything at the moment sounds correct as now your results are in what will happen is a MDT (Multi Discipline Team consisting of surgeons, oncologists, radiologists, CNS, anaesthetists etc.) will meet to discuss your surgery and adjuvant treatment and then you'll usually be added to the next surgery list. Cancer surgeries seem to be prioritised so they'll get you in quickly as a rule. 

Some cancers have chemotherapy before surgery and others vice-versa. (I had surgery and Brachytherapy 6 weeks later)

I hate to say it but it might be prudent to check your holiday cancellation insurance.

Sending you all the best, B xx

Just an update. I have been told I have Kidney cancer I have a hospital appointment with Doctor this morning been up since 2am thinking about it the appointment is 9.30am. I'll update later today.

Hello Zante 1 l was diagnosed 6 weeks ago but mine has gone a biy further.  You will be helped by your consultant and if you are like me, your emotions will be racing. Since joining the community you are the first person who l have "offered" any advice. 75 hrs old and battling on. Everyone told me to stay strong. It was tough for me but.... it was a motivator. You will be able to draw on many many strengths. I am thinking of you as l have my second oncology meeting after starting chemoo

Norfolkflyer thanks for your kind words to be honest it did not come as a shock as I have been having tests etc and it's taken 4 months to get here but I was told after my second scan they were almost certain it was Cancer but then after further scans and biopsy I arrive here today. I'm about to leave to go hospital as my appointment at hospital is at 9.30 this morning I'm expecting him to set out the road forward and I'll update later. I hope you also Stay strong and find some comfort that your not alone in fighting this and we are all on a similar but different journey and hopefully together we can become stronger 

I was going to wish you well you sound positive abd so am l. Different roads but  we'll get there. 

Norfolkflyer thank you I wish you well also and I think being positive is the only way to be like you said previously
