Kidney Cancer
Hi everyone,
My name is John I am 40 diagnosed with Kidney Cancer this summer, it's been a strange few weeks. Kidney is gone already, had a few bits removed from bladder as well. That's the very quick version of my story. I will probably write more another time. I have a Wife 4 kids, 2 my own 2 foster(feel like mine) age range 17-4. The last few weeks, It's been a lot.
But why am I writing here and now, I guess it's just to express love to everyone who scared or lonely in their diagnosis. I want to say I have love for you, I care and I wish you all recovery and peace.
John

Dear John.
Thank you for posting on our online community. I am sorry to read that you were diagnosed with Kidney cancer, I am sure it was a worrying time for you. I do hope that you are doing well after your surgery.
It is very kind of you to reach out to others who have been affected by cancer. You are right, a cancer diagnosis can be a very lonely time for people, as the emotional impact of cancer is often underestimated.
I have attached information here about some of the services we provide. John, we are all cancer nurses on our support line, and we would very much like to support you if you felt like a chat. Our number is 1800 200 700 and we are here Monday- Friday from 0900-1700.

Hi John,
Sorry to hear about what you've been going through. I'm Chris, I'm 47 and was diagnosed with thyroid cancer two years ago. It's not the same as what you're going through but I just wanted to say if you want someone to talk to/vent at then let me know and I'll send on my number.
All the best
Chris
