Terrified with tumour and thrombus near heart
Hi - I’m new to this and like many am completely terrified as I’ve found out in the last couple of weeks that I have an 11 cm tumour on my right kidney and a thrombus going into the vein up almost to my heart. First consultant appointment last Thursday was so negative and scary but they said they still had to hear from the regional MDT the following day. That brought more hopeful news that the specialist thoracic consultant at a Manchester hospital can operate. I’m waiting on an appointment and I hope that he can be more positive and hopefully a bit reassuring as I’m in bits. Only turned 60 in March and was asymptomatic so this is such a shock. I’d love to hear some success stories - and I wish everyone in this club that no one wishes to join heartfelt warmest wishes on their journeys.
