Newly diagnosed with Kidney cancer

Hi, I've recently been diagnosed with kidney cancer. I cannot have surgery due to other illness and being on 2 types of blood thinners. Hopefully I should be having a meeting within a couple of weeks to discuss alternative treatments. I'm wondering where I can find literature to read on these treatments to give me an insight prior to this meeting, and what experiences other patients have had. Thank you 

  • Hi Bazzabond an welcome to the Cancer Chat forum.

    I'm sorry to hear you've been diagnosed with kidney cancer and that you can't have surgery.

    You can read about the different types of kidney cancer treatment on our website, but if you need any further information or advice then don't hesitate to give our cancer nurses a call. They're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m and they will do all that they can to help.

    Hopefully some of our members will pick up on you post soon and share their experiences and advice.

    In the meantime, our thoughts are with you Bazzabond and we're wishing you all the best for your next meeting.

    Kind regards,
