Concerned wife

Hi, my husband had a full nephrectomy almost nine weeks ago. He had a return appointment with his consultant last week. His dedicated consultant was called away and he had a short meeting with another doctor. We were told op went well He has been referred now for a ct scan. The imaging dept has said that this would take four to six weeks. He has secondary kidney cancer in his lung. I am worried that he has to wait so long for treatment to start.

  • Hello Gmaria, 

    I'm glad to hear that your husband's operation went well but can understand your concerns about how long the wait may be before treatment starts. Many members who have also been in this position will understand how you are feeling at the moment and hopefully some of them will pop by soon to share their advice and experiences with you.

    In the meantime if you want to chat to someone about this our cancer nurses are just a phone call away. If you're in the UK you can call them for free on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.
