I have had kidney removed 1month ago and recovering well. I've been told it was a stage 3 and I need preventative treatment and have an appointment with oncologist 2nd July. I'm going to Portugal on 10th for 2 weeks I'm terrified of more treatment and worried about holiday as it will effect 5 others. Can I start treatment afterwards
Sorry to hear you have to have extra treatment.
I've been assigned a urology nurse, could you see if there is one with your service. Alternatively call the consultants secretary explaining the timeframe. After everything you've been through, you need to look forward to your holiday.
