Hi minimouse and welcome to the forum.

I'm so sorry no-one was able to reply to you before your doctor's appointment but I hope it went o.k and you were able to get your questions answered.

Hopefully some of our kidney cancer members will be along soon for a chat but do feel free to join in on any conversations where this is being discussed by using the 'search forum' option in the blue bar above.

I'm going to include a link to the kidney cancer section on our website so you can find out how you can prepare for your surgery but if you'd like to speak to someone about this then our cancer nurses are just a phone call away. You can contact them on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

Kind regards, 

Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
