Kidney cancer

I have been diagnosed with kidney cancer and need an op to remove the 14 cm tumour, radical open surgery to remove kidney . I am currently classed at a T3A patient but I guess that could get worse after Op . I have a great family but I can’t go 2 mins without being absorbed in this and I feel my prognosis is probably months not years .  I wake up during the night and then reality hits me and I get very panicky and anxious.

  • I'm sorry to hear you've been diagnosed with kidney cancer Philterence but I'm glad to hear the tumour can be removed.

    Finding out you have cancer can bring about so many thoughts and feelings so it's completely understandable, and natural, for this to be at the forefront of your mind so if you can, try not to be too hard on yourself for not being able to pay full attention to your family at this moment in time.

    I hope it helps to know that you are not alone as so many of our members have been in this position, so they will understand what you're going through, and hopefully it won't be long until some of them stop by to offer their support and advice.

    You can find out more about your diagnosis 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 will do all they can to support you and address your worries and concerns.

    For further information and advice, it may be worth getting in touch with Kidney Cancer UK.
