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

I had a CT Scan on 9/10/23. Just gone through my folder. The All Clear letter was typed on the 18th. So I probably got the letter 3 or 4 days after that. 22th October, so I think we are talking 13 Days. Hope this helps. Try not to worry, but I must admit, I was in a right state at the time. I will be the same in 4 months time.
You don’t get very far with the GP - mine wrote to me to come in for a cancer care meeting - if they’d called it a cancer couldn’t care less meeting, it’d have been more accurate. Every question I asked I got the response - I don’t know, I’m not a specialist.
Hope you get a better response from the kidney specialist. Strange to think that this time last year we’d no idea what 2023 had in store.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
