Kidney cancer - I think I'm still in shock. I'm also feeling anxious about having surgery. Can someone put my mind at ease?

I have just been told that I have Kidney cancer And I am still in shock I think it’s not really hit me yet I have to have surgery to remove my Kidney it has not spread to any other organs I don’t know how I feel about having such a large operation  I have only ever had minor procedures in hospital I am more anxious of the operation than the diagnosis can anyone  please put my mind at rest xx thank you 

  • Thanks.  Can I ask whether when you had your surgery were you allowed someone to wait with you prior to going down. Sorry if that is an awkward question.  I have tried getting the answer from my hospital but all I have had so far is a letter to say I need to go unaccompanied but it's a generic surgery letter.  I am stressing out about having to wait alone.
