New here hello

Best of luck with the results. Such a strange limbo I know. All plans go on hold. My cancer is a bladder one but it produced a small low grade tumour there but a big tumour in my kidney so my right kidney came out a year ago. You will be absolutely fine living with just one kidney. 

Hi, I’m new here too.

That’s incredible that you got through cervical cancer, it must be very worrying with the renal diagnosis. I’m waiting for confirmation on RCC too and been told it’s a slow grower and surgery can remove all of it so I hope that is the case for you too. 

I’m in my 50s with a grown up daughter and I get the fear of the unknown. I’ve found it really helpful talking to people, I think this will be a really useful support group and it would also be good if you have any local groups too. It helps when you are with people who understand what you are going through. It’s got to be one day at a time at the moment, some will be bad, some will be good but focus on the good days and try and plan some nice things for yourself and your family. I do things like family dinner and visits, evening home pampering session with face masks and bath bombs, watch a good movie. 

The waiting sucks and is the worst part. Good luck with the biopsy and let us know how you get on. Living with one kidney is no problem these days, my nan had stomach cancer, then renal and had a kidney removed and she was nearly 90 when she passed away so the outlook is pretty good for this type of tumour.
