  • Hi , I have just been told I have a 5cm cancerous tumour on my kidney and I’ve already been booked to have my pre ams to have surgery to remove my kidney but first I’ve got to have another CT scan to determine if it has grown or spread and I told the consultant that Ian going on holiday first  and then they can do whatever they need to do so it will be done by 18/2 as the pre ams is only good for 6 weeks I feel like it’s a bit of a rush job which doesn’t fill me with confidence  but hey I will wait and see

    howhave you got on?  As it’s been a while since you posted ?

  • Hi Mummybern, I only posted yesterday. I am going to be investigated to see if it has spread, and then a possible removal of my right kidney. I'd be interested to know how you get on with your removal. I hope you had a good holiday.

  • Hi Kamarastar 

    had to have an open surgery for a blockage in my bowel so I had to recover from that before meeting the Urology surgeon which is on 27/2 getting a lot of pain under ribs but no other symptoms 

    went on holiday later than scheduled about 9 days after my surgery so missed 3 days but I made it xx

    I’ve got to try to gain weight as I have lost a lot of weight and I need to be stronger before seeing the surgeon strong enough to cope with another surgery  so fingers crossed that he is happy with my health and I can have my surgery soon 

    have you had any news? Are you having or had your surgery?
