Hi, just wanted to say hi.

Hi, I also have been recently diagnosed with 8cm on left kidney.  I have an appointment with the specialist team next Saturday at addenbrooks hospital to discuss kidney removal and treatment. 

Sorry to hear your news, but it seems that we’re not alone. I’m keeping positive and getting on with my day to day life. It’s easy to say, but try to alleviate your fears and anxiety as this is often more debilitating than the actual diagnosis. 

wishing you all the best with your treatment and recovery xx

Thanks I'm also at addenbrookes next Saturday for my pre op appointment.

Wow, we might even meet?!  Good luck. Xx

Can I just ask if you had any symptoms before diagnosis??

Be as positive as you can. My husband was already stage 4 when they found his, too late. You have a chance, embrace it!

Absolutely none. I had been sent for a ct colonoscopy after occult blood was found in my poo. Apparently, no problem but that’s when they spotted the mass on my left kidney. I still have zero symptoms, I feel as fit as a flea!  Crazy isn’t it?  

how about you?

I had appendicitis early September and it was pick up on the CT scan at the time... Otherwise I would never have known...

Do you mind me asking your age?  I’m 61yrs

Just turned 50, found out 3 days before my birthday

Ah, that sucks. Anyway, good luck to us both next Saturday
