Hi Richard, I really understand what you are feeling as I am in the same situation in a way. I also went through the operation to do a biopsy , he found a big aggressive tumor in my ureter, so then he removed right kidney, ureter and part of bladder. I healed quite quickly because Ive always been a bit of a gym junky so fitness helped, but now waiting to go on chemo. I've taken it easy to let myself heal completely to get ready for chemo. I'm so sorry for you, it's hard isn't it, especially if you are used to doing exercise, and aren't allowed for a while, you just want to get out there and do something. I also used to be a smoker many years back, my Oncologist thinks that may be why I got this. Try not to be negative, your specialist will sort it all out for you and work out the best plan for you. I feel seeing your GP about antidepressants is actually a good idea. I went on Lexapro antidepressants and I am feeling better.Talk to your specialist or GP. Sometimes we need a little help. Reach out here though also, it's good to talk with others who understand. You sound fit and healthy( apart from this) like me, so you can beat this, I intend to 🙂 It's very daunting hearing that you have cancer, I know, but its not the end of the world, many people get better, so try to think that way. Try to think positive ! Sending hugs to you, Cindi x
