Hi all, I have just joined this group and just finding my way around. I was diagnosed with kidney cancer in April and 9 weeks ago had my kidney removed. I am relieved to say that they managed to remove the cancer. It was at stage 3 but not spread. I will be undergoing immunotherapy next Monday which will hopefully decrease the chance of reoccurrence. I am a bit nervous as to how this will affect me but have great support from family and friends. It's been a real emotional rollercoaster but I remain positive.

I'm glad you've had lots of family support. I have very little from family but it tends to come in waves, and even then it's no more than 3 people. Mostly it's just 1.

I have looked up what Macmillan places are near me and I'm confused. It isn't clear where I could just walk in or where they have an office or something else. I don't think they have somewhere at my closest hospital but their website seems to show what looks like a shop front in the same town. I have no idea if that's somewhere I could just walk into or not.

I haven't had the nerve to call Macmillan on the phone yet. I'm not sure what I'd even say. I'd much rather sit down and chat though.
