Hello all
I was recently diagnosed with kidney cancer.
Saw the urology consultant a couple of days ago, just waiting for a date for surgery in maybe 3-4 weeks.
In the scheme of things, it doesn't look too bad. Caught reasonably early, seems to be entirely local to the kidney.
And I have a supportive partner, friends and family and employer.
But my, it's a roller coaster ride!
I'm not sleeping well. My head seems to be bouncing between emotions multiple times per day.
I'm assuming this is entirely normal.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
