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

  • Just had my CT Scan result from my Urologist. All Clear.. Would have preferred a Face to Face., but with all the problems with the NHS at the moment, this will have to do. Next CT scan, 4 months time, at least my February holiday abroad is now on.

  • Hi snellijw,

    So glad that your scan is clear and that you will still be able to go on holiday, enjoy you time away and relax sending hugs and best wishes to you and the family Sandy

  • Good news - my first one since the op is due soon so I’m hoping my results will be positive too. Enjoy your holiday, it’s good to have something to look forward to. 

  • 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.

  • Hi snellijw

  • Hi did you get your scan results , if not I would get in touch with them x

  • Yes, I did get my scan results. It was all clear. Next CT scan in 4 months. Only a letter, not a Face to Face.

  • How long did it take from your latest CT scan to getting a letter to say it was all clear? I had mine last Saturday, no heard anything yet which I assume is probably because it didn’t raise any concerns. Thought I’d give it another week before ringing.
