Hi its nearly 12 months since left open radical nephrectomy large tumor but grade 2 and contained, so I am in a good place physically compared to a lot of people and my heart goes out to you all , this anxiety of mine seems trivial in comparison but was told by consultant I would have scan every 4 months I had my second scan in August over 6 weeks later it's not back from radiology I dont not blame any medical person as I know there all under pressure but I get so anxious and stressed and always fear the worst and its life stalls for these results to come through and I just want to try and get on with my life
Thinking of you all on this up and down journey

Yes, can now look forward to my Holiday. Someone else said, what they do after each CT scan is book & go on holiday. Looking at your summary, seems you had a Cyst about the same size as mine. They thought it was 13cm, turned out it was 17cm. Good Luck, with the CT Scan.
Yes, sounds very similar. Strange that these things can go undetected for so long. The consultant predicted mine had been growing for five years. Good job for both of us that we pushed for further investigation. Fingers crossed you’re clear now. Relax and enjoy your break.
Yes, lucky I persisted and went private. See profile. Had to laugh, got a letter from NHS last week for original complaint, asking if I still wanted be on list. Thank God I went private and was diagnosed privately with Renal Cancer. Would still be waiting now, with the cancer growing. But like you, I am sure it has been growing for many years.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
