Hello. I am a mature aged woman who was diagnosed with kidney cancer early last November. The diagnosis came out of the blue and I think I am still in shock! I had an ache in the hip that wouldn't go away and I kept pressing my GP to get to the bottom of it. After 3 different x-rays and scans, I was finally told that yes, I was right, there was something very wrong. I had kidney cancer and it had spread to the bones and also to my lungs. Radiation has helped with my bone cancer, it was a miracle really, the difference was amazing. I had one lot of chemo tablets, but unfortunately the side effects were so bad that I wished I could die. I haven't had treatment since January and am holding my own with my health.
I look forward to talking to others who have similar stories to share.
Thanks for reading 🙂
