Skin Cancer and Kidney Cyst, might they be related.

Hi, 

I was diagnos3d with skin cancer on Friday after an urgent referral to dermatologist, a couple of weeks ago I had a bladder scan due to needing to persistently urinate and was found to have  Bosniak type 2 cyst. I am awaiting a biopsy date for the skin cancer and am now concerned that as I haven't yet got an appointment for urology and the cyst that it might all be related.. can anyone advise? My urology appt is just to take its course although both referrals were marked as urgent initially.

Thanks

Wendy

  • Hello Wendyann and welcome to the Cancer Chat community.

    I'm sorry to hear you've been diagnosed with skin cancer and about your kidney cyst concerns.

    Unfortunately I can't answer your questions but our team of cancer nurses may be able to help so if you'd like to talk things through with them you can give them a call on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    Hopefully some of our members who may have been in a similar situation will share their stories and advice with you soon as well but in the meantime, I just wanted to let you know we're thinking of you and wishing you all the best with your upcoming appointments.

    Kind regards,
