  • Welcome to Cancer Chat Lozzylou although I'm sorry for the reason it brings you here.

    I'm glad your husband was able to have treatment for his kidney cancer and I hope his recovery is going well. I see you mentioned that you have been reading other member's discussions on the forum which is great and I hope you have found the answers you are looking for. Do feel free to chat to them as well as I'm sure they would love to hear from you and help you as much as they can.

    If you have any other questions that need answering you can chat to our cancer nurses as well. They are available Monday - Friday (except bank holidays) between 9a.m - 5p.m on 0808 800 4040, which is free to call from a UK landline.

    Hi, so sorry to hear about your husband's diagnosis. My husband had a nephrectomy in July 2015. It is always hard dealing with cancer and I hope you are both ok. We have been on a roller coaster ride and now he is on pazopanib, an immuno- therapy drug designed to kill the cancer that recurred this Sept. Just had a CT scan to see if it has done anything but have to wait until 19/01 when we see the oncologist.

    Keep thinking positive and write down all the questions you want to ask as we always come out saying forgot to ask about this or that. 

    Best wishes to you both and if there is anything I can help with drop us a line.
