  • Hello Betbunhugo, 

    I can imagine this is such a stressful time for you as you are waiting for biopsies and CT scans on lungs - unfortunately the festive period can be a time when everything seems to slow down a little so I hope that you won't have too wait too long  - luckily it's only a few days now until the 2nd of January and you should hopefully get some clear answers then. I am sorry to hear that this has affected your appetite and that you are feeling nauseous all the time - if these symptoms persist, you should flag this with your GP. Waiting for results can be the hardest thing as many of our members will know too well and there are helpful tips on this page to help you cope while waiting for important news.  One important suggestion is to try if you can to stay away from the temptation to look anything up online as this will only make you more worried and give you the worst case and least likely scenario. 

    You will find other members of our community who have been diagnosed with kidney cancer - if you type 'kidney cancer' in our search forum function at the top of our site, you will find other relevant kidney cancer threads - feel free to reply to any that you feel you would like to interact with. I hope that you will hear from others who have been in a similar position before and that they will be along shortly to share their experience with you. 

    I am keeping everything tightly crossed for you for the 2nd, that it all goes well and it turns out to be nothing of concern. 

    Best wishes,
