Dads cancer returned

I was wondering if anyone can advise me, unfortunately 9 weeks ago we found out as a family that my dads kidney cancer had returned near his spleen after just over a year of being clear . He was told that when they found the cancer during his regular scan it's was so small that if it was on the palm of your hand you couldn't see it .

my dad started targeted therapy 4 weeks ago and I'm praying it works and shrinks it but I was wondering what other people's experiences have been like . Just have this horrible gut feeling all the time it's not going to end up good  

  • I'm really sorry to hear your dad's cancer has returned Susanna but it's really reassuring to hear that it's small and I'm glad that treatment has already got underway.

    It's completely understandable to be worried and I'm sure many of our members can identify with the gut feeling you've been having but we will all have our fingers crossed this won't be the case and your dad will receive good news on his follow up.

    Hopefully some of them will share their experiences with you soon but if you'd like to talk things through with one of our cancer nurses then you're welcome to give them a call on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    Kind regards,
