Hello Julie hope you well. I just read your profile and I see we got similar type of cancer. Soo I would like ask you how is going in all as I got my mother too with same diagnosis in 2006 she now 91 and still well. If you can tell me more abut your situation be appreciated. At the moment I am recovering well bit I got some discomfort on the other side of my kidney I hope nothing serious I been contact the doctor hopefully all well will see .tanks salvo
Hello Salvo, Gosh, it’s nice to meet someone else with my type of cancer! I think that most of my information is already in the profile, I am wondering whether you are considering any type of genetic link, with your mother having the same ( it’s good to hear that she is 91)!
So I haven’t got any history of kidney cancer in my family, my dad was one of seven boys and there are a number of his brothers and him who have had prostate cancer.
As will have read. I have a cyst on my other kidney, but currently, or at least at the last scan, things are looking okay with that.
I have however, been quite physically unwell with coughs and colds recently, I have also had Covid a few times! I am a bit concerned as to whether my immune system is low and so I’m thinking of going to see the GP, as literally I seem to have a cough or cold about every three weeks.
Most of the time, I just managr to put things to the back of my mind and get on with life, albeit I don’t think life is ever quite the same again as there is a worry element that hasn’t previously been there. That said I do feel as though I can live a fulfilled life and have a very positive outlook on life.
I don’t know whether this answered your question, but if not, please do give me a shout.
