I'm having my kidney removed. Will I have to have chemo after? I've already had two breast cancer lumpectomies but no chemo as my breast cancer types do not respond to chemo.

Hello and thanks for your enquiry,
Unfortunately, we are not able to give you a specific medical opinion, as we are not directly involved with your clinical care.
Additional treatments, such as immunotherapy, are usually given if there is a high risk of kidney cancer returning after surgery, or if the kidney cancer has spread beyond the kidney. We have information about the stages and types of kidney cancer and also about kidney cancer treatments Your hospital team should be able to tell you more about your situation soon.
I hope this helps,
Best wishes,
Vanda
