Cancerous lesion found on my kidney and I've been referred to the breast clinic as something's been found on left breast. How does everyone cope?

Hi I was diagnosed with a cancerous lesion on my kidney and have an appointment with consultant next Wednesday. I can't stop thinking that the cancer has spread even though the urologist said it hadn't after checking CT scans. Then I got a call to say they identified something on my left breast so have referred me to breast clinic (hoping this is the clip from biopsies about 6 years ago). How do you all cope in this period of the cancer journey TIA xx

  • Hello Mabel_1

    I'm sorry to hear that you've recently been told that a cancerous lesion was found on your kidney and that you're now also waiting for an appointment at the breast clinic. It's understandable that this news may all feel overwhelming. 

    We know that for many people this period of waiting and uncertainty can be difficult, and it's natural to feel anxious. You might find it helpful to read through this thread about how to cope with waiting for news, which shares some tips and advice. If it would help to talk things through with one of our nurses, you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. I know they will be happy to listen and offer any advice, information and support they can. 

    Hopefully when you see the specialist on Webnesday they will be bale to give you some answers and reassurance. Do keep in touch Mabel_1 and let us know how you get on. 

    Best wishes,
