Hi, so Ive had my scan and with bladder and prostate written off I should be positive but obviously my 2 episodes of gross haematuria has to have a reason so I am awaiting these results with trepidation. I have little doubt that my kidney will have a tumour but am really afraid that because it’s kidney then it will be advanced as thats the way this symptom seems to play out with it . Very difficult time.
Hi philw I know how you feel as I was apparently cancer free until recently . Now I am dealing with liver lung and neck cancer . Well on an up note I started chemo last week. It is a very difficult time but you know I read a story here last night at 2.30 in the morning as I woke up and decided to have milk and honey. This story was about someone's mum who was offered treatment but was told she would end up in hospital or to get no treatment and make the best memories of the time left. She had no treatment spent time chatting and going out and died at home peacefully in her own bed . Her daughter said it was the right decision , She said accepting you have an incurable disease helps . None of us signed up for this but it is the way we deal with it that matters . All the Best Regards Minmax
