Small cell renal carcinoma

I've been diagnosed with small cell renal carcinoma. I had kidney cancer early last year and had my kidney removed, then I had my yearly scan and my world came crashing down. 

I've done the worst thing and googled it and it doesn't make for good good reading. The consultant told me at the time that I've have 1yr to 18 months if I had no treatment. I'm 44 year old with a beautiful wife and two gorgeous boys 14 and 17. I'm so scared, I've never smoked and don't drink why me.....

  • Hi Wes12,

    I'm sorry to read of your situation. Hopefully you are able to speak to your doctor soon to understand potential next steps. Do try to avoid Google as it is not specific and can create further worries.

    I can see you have had a reply from one of our Nurses on here, with some links to further information and support.

    I hope that the forum can be helpful for you and we're always here for support if you need it.

    Wishing you all the best,
