Hi there,
i really don't know where to start, well couple of months ago my mum was admitted to hospital with low sodium, she was in there for around 5 weeks, they found it difficult to get to the root of the problem, as you can imagine I started to do my own investigating and it related to the kidneys. Lucky enough the 4th doctor my mum seen wasn't very happy with the progress she was making, so then booked her in for a CT scan, we were relived that finally she was getting the scan, but then our nerves shattered when suddenly they said "we found a mass and the scan results not good".
She had an appointment with her oncology surgeon and they said because of her other health issue relating to her heart and lungs, she wouldn't be fit for surgery. They sent a letter discussing the meeting, the tumour is 4.8cm on the lower pole of the left kidney, it also mentions something regarding lymph nodes, also something about incision on the lung. We still haven't received a letter regarding biopsy date. I have no idea how long you wait for that. So all the information so far you what's been on the scan. If anyone has any advice or information I would appreciate your thoughts. We do know it's cancerous.
sorry for the long story guys.
