Hi, I have also been diagnosed with kidney cancer after having a CT scan for problems and pain with bowels. As such it was a” lucky” find. But now I’m desperate to find out what the plan is.........w long will it take to hear from Urology do you think? I know it has to be within two weeks, but can’t help wanting to know now Thanks in anticipation
Hi Judith , sat here in hospital for me it was eight weeks from first scan to removal hope it helps ,
I heard from Urology within a week of the scan then had a few meetings with then and additional scans .
Hi Still here,
Thank you, that helps with a time scale. How long do you think it will take you to recover?
best wishes

Hi Judith ,
The consultant said keyhole full recovery 4 weeks and open surgery 6 weeks if no follow up treatment is required .
Hope to be out of hospital this week I'm pretty fit and healthy in general fingers crossed.
So planning on the 6 weeks as had both procedures to get the kidney out .
I hope you get sorted quickly it's the waiting I found the hardest to cope with .
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
