Transitional renal cell carcinoma

i wondered if you have any idea on life expatancy of someone with transitional renal cell carcinoma who had the tumour removed by having the kidney, urinary tract and small amount of the bladder surgically removed but to then find out it is in the paraortic nodes. Chemotherapy was tried but only 1 and half cycles were completed then poorly with sepsis and pneumonia so no more treatment 

  • Hello meashy44 and thanks for posting,

    I hope you are feeling ok now after everything that happened. 

    I can understand you asking, but I am afraid I don't know what your outlook/life expectancy is likely to be after treatment. I think the best person to ask about this would be someone from the specialist team involved in your care. I hope it is easy for you to get in touch to ask them and that they can provide you with an estimate.

    If you ever want to talk to us, our number is, Freephone 0808 800 4040 and we are around weekdays, 9-5.

    Wishing you the best,

    Julia
