Hi All.......

Im new to the site and I just dont know where to turn, my husband has had problems with his waterworks and we went for an ultrasound this week to check for blockages. We got a call back from the doctors within the hour to say we had to come in and see the Doctor. He's then explained that the ultrasound didnt find any blockages however it did pick up something on the kidneys - at first he said it was 1,1cm , the size of a marble but then rung us back to apologize and state it was 11cm!! We now have an appointment at the local hospital on Tuesday for a CT Scan but I am going out of my mind with worry, can anyone offer any advice?

  • A very warm welcome to the forum Bradshawgal although I'm sorry to hear that something has been found on your husband's kidneys.

    This must be a very worrying and stressful time but I'm glad you've reached out to us Bradshawgal as our community is full of members who will know exactly what you're going through right now, so you are not alone, and hopefully it won't be long until you receive some support and advice.

    If it would help to talk things through with someone, then feel free to give our team of cancer nurses a call. They're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m and they will do all they can to address your concerns and hopefully put your mind at ease whilst you wait.

    Tuesday isn't too far away now, so hang on in there just a little bit longer Bradshawgal. We're thinking of you and wishing your husband all the best with the CT scan.
