Hi to all, I have cancer in the right kidney and they say its contained and a full kidney removal is my treatment, however I will be left needing dialysis... now am i right not to worry about the cancer? because once they operate they will have taken all the cancer away.. so as I see it I will be cancer free.. or have I got myself all mixed up?
Hi I don't understand this myself. Why would you need dialysis?
Suggest you " ask an expert" n someone will come back to you. Please allow a couple of days as they're call volunteers.

Hi buttercup, due to diabetes my kidneys together are functioning at between 40% and 50%, top brass fear once they remove my right kidney then I will need dialysis...
So I was fearing the chance of it spreading while they try to leave it as long as possible
Oh dear I understand now. Hope they can work out a way so you don't need dialysis.
