  • Hi Alan and a very warm welcome to our forum, 

    What a rough ride you have had recently! Thank you for sharing your story with us and I am glad you are now out of hospital and survived. What a frightening time it must have been for you as it nearly took your life. It's great news though that despite everything you have been through, your tumour has gone. 

    I hope that you are happy being back home after all this time in hospital and that you are not too exhausted. We have detailed information on our website on kidney cancer and if you have any questions or simply felt the need to talk to someone about what you have been through recently, feel free to get in touch with our cancer nurses on this free number 0808 800 4040 - their helpline is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm. 

    I just wanted you to know that you are not alone and I hope that you will hear from other members of our community who have been diagnosed with kidney cancer. It helps to talk to others who find themselves in the same boat. 

    Best wishes,
