Hi, my husband,52, had a CT for a lump on his thyroid, turned out to be a large goitre which they need to remove. During the CT They discovered 2 large cysts on his kidney, one the consultant has told us looks malignant and they want to remove the whole kidney. They won’t do it until the thyroid is removed as that’s impeding on his airway. There’s also a nodule on his lung which we go to an appointment tomorrow. Our heads are all over the place, the word malignant was said so easily with no explanation, we were then ushered to another office where a nurse gave us a leaflet and said go home have a cup of tea and read this. His case will go to MDT to be discussed and we’ll get a call after that. We feel in limbo and don’t know what/when to tell our grown kids (they live at home with us) or parents/family. Feeling lost
Sorry meant This site not Thai
Hiya Claire I hope ur hubby is recovering well.
Sorry about the kidney, but as u can see most of us gave gad nephrectomies and come through the other side
We are here for when u need us
Plenty of positive news there! Keep politely nudging for a firm date re the kidney op as things are increasingly chaotic in the NHS, even with cancer stuff now, so it is worth being "proactive" as they say! I hope he gets a firm date soon. It is so good to get it behind one
