Welcome to the Cancer Chat community PositiveJ although I'm sorry for the reason you've joined us.

Waiting for results is always difficult. In fact, most of our members here on the forum have said it's the hardest part of the process, but there's just a day to go now so hang on in there and if you can, try to distract yourself with pleasant pursuits to take your mind off if for a bit.

I know the odds aren't looking the best but I'll still have my fingers crossed that the 5% chance of it being benign will be confirmed for you tomorrow.

Kind regards,

Hi, Thanks for the friend request.

I too had a complex cyst which was removed (also partial nephrectomy) at the beginning of November. mine was a bosniak 3 with a 50/50% chance of being cancer, I got my biopsy results just before Christmas which showed is was a cancerous tumour. My consultant assured me that the margins around the tumour were negative so I am now just down for monitoring, I have to have  a CT scan every six months (my first being next month) and will stay on their radar for ten years, Which I suppose is reassuring. I am really nervous about going for my scan next month incase the cancer has come back. I share the same fears as you, I am 43 and have two children, my youngest is 11 and my eldest is sixteen but has learning difficulties and Autism, which means he relies heavily on me and will never live completely independently. It's the worst thing about having a cancer, the thought of not being there for your children.

Please let me know how you've got on, have youhad your results yet?

I did get my results back. It was cancerous , stage 1b. Clear margins too so now vigilant for the next 5 years scanning at 6 months post nephrectomy....

Cancer sucks. 

I’m so sorry to hear that X 

Hey snap!

Hmm... It certainly makes you take stock... And gives you a different outlook. 

I got my scan appointment through the other day, i feel like I've been waiting and waiting for it, hoping it'll give me some reassurance, but actually now the appointment is set, i feel so scared, that it could change everything all over again.

How are you recovering from your surgery? X
