My husband has been diagnosed with a 7cm kidney tumour we are waiting for lung scan results to see if it has spread. Waiting is really hard. I know that the cure rate is good if no metastases. He has been told they will remove his kidney

Hello Maggie and welcome to Cancer Chat.
I'm really sorry to hear your husband has been diagnosed with kidney cancer and for the anxious wait you now have to find out if it has spread.
As you mention in your post, waiting for results is really tough but I hope it helps to know that you have joined a community who know what you're going through, so you are not alone, and I'm sure it won't be long until some of our members stop by to offer their support and share their tips and advice on how to cope with the wait.
We have some information about kidney cancer and the surgery your husband may have on our website but if you'd like to talk any of this through with one of our cancer nurses, you can do so on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're very insightful, and supportive, and will do all they can to help you at this time.
We're thinking of you Maggie and sending all our support your way.
Best wishes to you both,
Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
