About Mellany

Hello I had Kidney cancer 2 1/2 years ago it spread to my Adrenal gland on the opposite side, I had both of them removed in a gruelling 9 hours of surgery. Then I thought I was on the mend which I was just getting blood levels under what they should be but a lot better, expect a pain in my right flank that no doctors knew what it was but I was on a lot of pain med fo. So when my rematolgyist sent me for lots of tests for my Arthris/Fibromaylia they found a mass in my Adrenal gland in December !! Then I got taken in hospital in January by my gp due to pain in my flank worsening where I had other MRI / CT scan and found that my mass had doubled in size.. Now I am awaiting an operation (which has been cancelled twice) to have my cancer mass removed as wall as my last remaining Adrenal gland.. I really feel scared for the first time!! I wasn't last time or when I had my operation before but as time goes by and it is getting bigger growing inside me I feel more worried something else is going to go wrong, I have already lost a sister to cancer and my other one is recovering from breast cancer so I feel I know a lot about cancer and treatment but this time I feel different is that normal I think is all I need to understand !! Thank you everyone ...
