Kidney cancer

  • My son had a cancerous kidney out last year. 2 weeks ago we were told its spread to his chest and can't be cured. I need to know more but I'm miles away from him. Worried mum  
  • Hi Rachelsheila, 

    I am so sorry to hear your son has been diagnosed with advanced kidney cancer - what a shock it must have been to find out that it has spread and cannot be cured. As his mum, you must be feeling a little bit anxious and powerless being away from him and not knowing exactly what is going on. I can completely understand why you feel you want to know more and we have information on our website on advanced kidney cancer which I hope you will find useful and if you wanted to talk things through with our cancer nurses or ask them any questions about kidney cancer, feel free to give them a call on this free number 0808 800 4040 - their helpline is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm. 

    I hope that you will hear from other members of our community who have also been affected by kidney cancer and that they can provide some guidance based on their personal journeys and experiences. 

    Best wishes,
