  • Hi Eillen, Lucie (moderator) has kindly connected me to you as someone who has had recent treatment for kidney cancer. I have recently had a diagnosis for a cancer lesion on my right kidney.  I am keen to hear about your treatment journey if that is okay? Warm wishes Kamara

  • Hiya nice to meet you, I have been having treatment for just over a year then tumour is not growing but not shrinking it is stable at the moment but terminal in the long running. My treatment has been stopped for 5wks to give my body a chance to rest. I was vomiting and diarrhea for 6mths my consultant said you need have a resti think. How is your journey going? It is hard has I Have a family of 4 Children and 11 grandbabies one is due in may so looking forward to that one another little boy 

  • Hi Eillen, thank you for your reply. Congratulations on the addition of another little boy! I have 2.5 lesion that has been diagnosed and is being observed. I don't know much else. I am going to be seeing my GP soon, who has suggested a possible removal of the right kidney to prevent any spread, yet we are also going to ensure it hasn't spread so possibly further scans and investigations. I feel quite tired and I seem to have lost a bit of weight. It is hard and scary. I'm trying to stay optimistic. 

  • They have not said anything about removal to me I also have liaison on my leg right one and lung so been having chemo and bone injection. Also where I had them on my leg it weakened femur and it fractured and had to have a pin put in so that is being watched cos they couldn't get all the tumor lesion out. So being monitored. Hope everything goes well for you 

  • Thank you for sharing your experience Eillen. I found it useful to keep everything in perspective. Wishing you well.
