  • Hello tiaviolet,

    Welcome to our friendly forum! When diagnosed with cancer, all the information can feel a little bit overwhelming and as you say there is an awful lot to take in. Just to give you even more information :p , you can find out more about kidney cancer on our website here and I hope you will find some of the answers you are looking for there.

    Our nurses also have a helpline number which is free if you live in the UK and you can ring them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm and you can ask them anything that is on your mind at the moment.

    Finally, because nothing replaces shared personal experiences, it might do you a lot of good to talk to others here who have also been diagnosed with kidney cancer and they might be able to help you process everything and share their own story with you. Perhaps you could join the conversation on this recent thread? [@chatteris10]‍ and [@Rose62]‍ for example would be great people for you to talk to as they have also recently been diagnosed with kidney cancer.

    Best wishes,
