Wife went for a colon CT at beg March and we found out last week she has cancer on a kidney. No appointment with urologist yet but will chase tomorrow.
GP read the CT report over the phone as the letter from the hospital had got lost. Tumour appears contained and no evidence of spread. So I guess you could say we are lucky.
We just want to know where we stand now.
Good the find this group.
Hi I had a CT in December 2021 and discovered I had a tumour in my ureter but very close to the kidney. Mine is a type of bladder cancer. I had a biopsy under anaesthetic in January and on 11.3.22 I had my right kidney, the ureter and a tiny part of my bladder removed due to the type of cancer.
I found out yesterday that they got all the cancer.
The first two weeks after surgery were very painful but the last four days I am feeling much better and the pain has reduced.
I understand the level of shock you are experiencing, I don’t think mine has worn off yet. It has been a whirlwind.
sending you guys a big hug and love. I hope my story helps.
Hello Carol
I had a similar diagnosis to your wife and had my kidney and ureter removed in January.
I'm not going to lie, but the first week post op was tough.I had to rely on my husband a lot.
I was expecting to have follow up treatment, but all the cancer was removed.
3 months on I am driving, back at work but still very fatigued by the end of the day.
It is hard, but this group is wonderful for advice, support and sounding off.
Trust all goes well and keep in touch.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
