Hi I have been diagnosed with kidney cancer, I’m 43 and had a fall down 13 stairs in June, and broke a vertebrae on my spine and was admitted to hospital due to a suspected bleed on my kidney. Ias a result of the fall I have had various scans these past 6 months and I found out at the end of October that I had a large tumour. The doctors have advised that I will have my whole kidney removed. I was told I would have the operation within 4 weeks which would be around now but I hadn’t heard anything so I called the hospital for an update; I was told that nothing had been scheduled yet. It has been an agonising wait, my mental health is really suffering and I just feel so alone and scared. I have my husband who has been very supportive but I don’t want to keep burdening him with my fears, I have so much pain in my upper back but am not sure if that is due to the fall or because of the tumour. I feel as though I am in limbo.
