  • Hi Pinkypie

    Sorry to hear of your diagnosis but welcome to the forlum, i had my left kidney and adrenal gland removed last October by keyhole. I was in hospital about 27 hrs, decided I'd rather be at home and let my super dooper hubby look after me. I'm 62 and was a little shocked that it took me a good 3 months to get back on my feet, very frustrating! I managed to go on our annual hols for a month to Lanzarote last January. Anyway, I thought you might like to hear my good news to spur you on. I have just had my first year scan and hooray! Good news, no recurrence . My tumour was a 7mm, Pt3a, grade 4 intermediate with a 20% risk of recurrence. So far so good! Lanzarote here I come again! Two months this year hehe! 

    Hope all goes well for you. Keep in touch.

  • Hi Pinkypie Sorry to hear you don't get out much but at least you have us! Not a club to join by choice but it's a great place to talk to fellow members who truly understand. There's always someone to talk to, some in a better position than others. I consider myself to be very lucky at the moment and I hope my stories make people smile, no matter what they are doing their best to cope with. Keep talking, you are not alone :)
