  • Welcome to Cancer Chat Amelia although I'm sorry to hear you were diagnosed with advanced kidney cancer at the beginning of the year.

    This must have been very difficult news to receive but I do hope any treatment you may be having is helping to keep the cancer at bay and that you have a good support network around you at this time.

    Hopefully it won't be long until you receive some support and kinds words from our members, but if you have any questions about your diagnosis, do feel free to give our cancer nurses a call on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're very easy to talk to and will do all they can to help.

    Kind regards,

  • Hi. I was diagnosed with stage 4 kidney cancer in December 2023 with inoperable right kidney tumour and nodes on both lungs. I started immunotherapy 28 Feb and have had four cycles so far. Awaiting scan results from 10 May still. My blood test yesterday showed abnormal liver readings so my treatment today couldn’t go ahead.  Hospital says it’s just a delay in treatment by a week or so pending results from a repeat blood test in 7 days. Very worried now as to what this may mean if next test is still the same.
