Metastatic kidney cancer

Evening all, I have been paying private medical insurance for as long as I can remember. And because of this I've been given the opportunity to get treatment at a cancer specialist in Madrid, I have metastatic CCRCC and was just wondering if anyone on here has had any experience with these ?

  • Hello Wes12

    I'm sorry to hear about your diagnosis. Undoubtedly this has been a difficult time for you and natural that you want to explore any treatment or trial options that may be open to you. 

    Do you know what treatment or trial the team in Madrid is offering you? If you're able to share that information we may be able to find more details for you or try to connect you with someone who can help.

    You might want to chat things through with one of our nurses. I know they will be happy to offer any information or support they can. If you'd like to speak to them they're available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    I do know that Kidney Cancer UK has a support group specifically for people living with metastatic kidney cancer so it may also be worth getting in touch with them to see if anyone has any personal experience they can share. 

    Whatever you choose to do Wes12, I hope that you are well supported by the clinicians involved in your care. 

    Best wishes,
