Hi I went for an ultrasound scan to check for gall stone s on 29th July this year, which was negative but unfortunately something was found in my right kidney. I was told that very same day it was possibly a Cystic Mass. I was sent for a CT scan on 12th Aug and had my results 30th August. I was told it was a tumour stage 4 as it’s spread to my left lung and lymph node next to the kidney. I’m utterly devastated and so overwhelmed. 
I had my Kidney biopsy on Friday 13th September. I was petrified, but it went smoothly. 
I am now waiting for the results to see what type of cancer it is in order to go on some targeted treatment. Each stage of this process has been harrowing, I try so hard to stay calm in between but it’s not easy.

The unknown is beyond scary. I am trying to come to terms with my diagnosis, living with Cancer. It’s not something I ever imagined. I’m a 64 year old female who is trying to find the courage and strength to fight this.
