Hello
This is my first post.
Diagnosed with kidney cancer August last year. Full nephrectomy. It all came as a big shock and surgery happened very quickly.
A few months after surgery my mental health started to decline. I also suffer severe bowels issues since surgery.
I have been experiencing really bad panic attack/anxiety symptoms which has left me housebound at times.
The GP has sent me for cardiology tests to check the heart is OK
The bowel issues have been intermittent since surgery. Chronic diarrhoea, pain and terrible gas. This has also caused me to be housebound during flare ups.
I am really struggling and would be really happy to hear from anyone who has had or still has similar issues.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
