I have been very lucky I suppose. I went into hospital with severe pain caused by my gall bladder. After many scans it was discovered I had a cancerous tumour on my left kidney. Op was sorted within weeks of diagnosis & it was supposed to be a simple removal of the tumour. Unfortunately it didn't play ball & had eaten to far into my kidney & it went from keyhole to major surgery very quickly & I lost my kidney. 10 weeks on I am doing well physically but I seem to be struggling emotionally & I still have to have my gall bladder removed. Some days I think I'm going nuts. My mother had the same kind of thing starting with her gall bladder but her cancer was inoperable. I know I am luckier than most but I am struggling with it at the moment. Any advice?
