Hello Wes12,
I am so sorry to hear that you have found out your kidney cancer has spread to your lungs. It is normal to be scared and I hope that they were able to tell you more about what treatment options are available to you. There is information on our website on advanced kidney cancer which has spread to the lungs and if you have any questions feel free to get in touch with our cancer nurses on this free number 0808 800 4040 - their helpline is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm.
I found another forum thread for you which you might be interested in having a look at and feel free to respond to if you wish - maggie74 posted only a few days ago about her husband having been diagnosed with kidney cancer and waiting for lung scan results and you will notice that katyoxo commented on that thread and mentioned having been diagnosed with kidney and lung cancer and doing really well at the moment with treatment despite being given a poor prognosis initially.
Hopefully you will hear from other members of our community who have been in a similar place before and they will be along shortly to share their story with you. I hope that you find out more about your treatment plan soon - do come back here and keep us updated if you can.
Best wishes,
Lucie, Cancer Chat Moderator
