Thank you. That seems a long time. I was just about to have lower jaw and gum surgery for squamous cell carcinoma next week when the kidney tumour discovered. This has been cancelled because kidney tumour more urgent. Kidney tumour on a non working kidney as I have had kidney transplant. Disappointed that they won't go ahead especially as a long op with reconstruction in my mouth. Just waiting now for the renal people
