Kidney cancer but MRI has found something on my prostate. Could the cancer have spread?

I have recently been diagnosed with kidney cancer and have a 10cm tumor on my left kidney. The treatment is to remove the kidney. However I have just had results from an mri scan which has picked up something on my prostate gland could the cancer have spread. I am seeing my consultant next Tuesday 

  • Hi there and thanks for posting

    I am sorry to hear about your recent diagnosis and appreciate what an anxious time this must be for you. Unfortunately until you speak with your specialist it is difficult for anyone to say what has been picked up on the prostate or if this is linked to your cancer.

    There could be many reasons for this and not all will be serious so try and not over think this until you have all the information.

    Wishing you all the best and do get back if you have further questions. You are also to welcome to call the helpline weekdays 9-5 on 0808 800 4040 if you prefer.

    Take care
