Hi I'm mark ,I'm 55 in a couple of weeks .my local hospital says I've got kidney cancer.

Hi Mark24682744

Welcome to the kidney cancer group.

Have you  yet seen the oncologist or a cancer nurse specialist?

Either of these should b able to answer some of your questions.

Well done for joining the group,as lots of folk on here will b able to support you and hopefully answer your questions too.

Keep in touch. Once you have a treatment plan,things will seem a lot clearer..

Hi Mark,  

I hope you had some news today.    

My day was frustrating , medical appointment wise but on the plus side my hairdresser found time to cut my unruly today. If I went for op. on Thursday without hair cut I knee it would soon be a mess. I find holding a hairdryer up to it quite hard at the best of times.  

Is your PTSD the tesult of being in the Services?  Not prying  just want you to know I have a family member affected.  

If it is and you go on Facebook have a look for Veterans Outreach Services, or Leave no man behind.  Both are busy groups with a lot of caring people in.  

Keep us updated.

Hi I was in the forces but in the 80s .that didnt give it me .I fell 40ft through a factory roof  because of the fall it was very noisy they say it was this that did it even the smell helped apparently. I am handling it alot better than I was .

Hi Mark ,

It might be worth calling your hospital and asking to speak to the urology specialist nurse. She will be aware of who you are as she will have been in the mdt meeting that you were discussed at. My specialist nurse , was very good and would chase appointments and results .

Good luck x

I  agree

Stay strong.

Think happy thoughts and some one else has it worse than you
