  1. I am new here.  I am 84 and had a nephrectomy seven weeks ago followed by urinary sepsis two weeks later.  I have been slowly regaining strength but I dare not walk or do anything without holding on to a walker because of severe dizzyness. I had a small stroke 6 years ago which left me with balance issues, but this is much worse. Has anyone else had this, please?
  • Hi  and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.

    I’m Anne, one of the Community Champions here on the Online Community and, although I'm not a member of this group, I noticed that your post hadn't had any replies yet. Responding to you will 'bump' it back to the top of the discussion list again.

    While you're waiting for replies, it would be great if you could put something about your diagnosis and treatment into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.

    I hope your dizziness resolves soon. I presume you have spoken to your CNS (cancer nurse specialist) about this.
