So I was diagnosed in September last year with kidney cancer which I had partial removal of but had a recent ct which revealed I have atelectasis of lungs lower lobes and a nodule in the upper right lobe, they also found a 7mm heterogeneous at the surgical site I'm not due to see my urologist until the 25th of this month, was wondering if anyone has had anything simular and can shed some light on what to expect as well know the not knowing is the worse
You can expect it to be bloody annoying, Hospital, clinic visits, discomfort. I had 80mm bowel "C" removed in 03 then a lump in my lung removed in 04. I'm feeling fine now but still have to go for scans and blood tests. You just have to get on with it even if it does grab some of your life. I think the criteria is 5 years free to be considered cured. So I have a few years to go. So I'm going about my life as normal. No reason why you shouldn't
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
