Hi lovely @Cindi,I'm really sorry to hear of this development
. I'll be praying that it turns out not to be cancer, but if it is, well you're such a brave person and have been doing all the right things with your exercise and eating - yes you can face this too as you said.You've had a lot going on in your life too, with your Dad reaching 101 that's incredible!Sending much love, prayers and support.Helen xoxoPS: I've been on Letrozole for 3 months and it seems to have settled. I have to do exercise to make the joint pain go away, which is good because that makes me want to exercise!2 -
Hi @HelenlovesSnoopy ,You are such a darling Helen, you've been trough so much but still find the time to write to me.Thank you so much it means a lot.I'm glad the Letrozle isn't too bad for you. Yes exercise can be fun.I'm afraid I got news today that isn't so good.I found out I have an aggressive cancer in right kidney and lining of urethra.I don't know if it's from last years breast cancer or not, but but wherever it came from ITS NOT WELCOME!!I'll find out more Monday when my Urologist comes back from holidays.Anyway, I was very deoressed so I went to my gym ( haven't been since I had biopsy and stent in) and walked for an hour on treadmill reading a great book on my kindle, made me feel much better.
Talk soon <3xx5 -

Oh Cindi! I'm so dreadfully sorry to hear that, but at the same time so proud of you that you were already off to the gym!! When I went to see an exercise physiologist at the 'oldies' gym, she told me her colleague had cancer and was exercising all through treatment! (Not saying you have to do that
)But you know we'll be cheering you on all the way. And you have your lovely family supporting you too I know.In case it helps, my mum who had breast cancer also had a kidney removed at some point - years later we could all barely remember that and whether it had been cancer or not, or what it was. Anyway the point is, mum managed fine without it. Additionally my Beth only has one fully functioning kidney, as one has only a little function. I guess that's why we have two.But I'm not making light of things - count me on your prayer team and I'm here to encourage you, and help talk you through subsequent treatments if you have them.Sending you a million hugs and Pip (dog) and Percy (our newish cat) send their best too. My girls will be sorry to hear as they all know you as the fabulous artist. You have really inspired my Alice.Helen

Thinking of you @Cindi
i hope you’re holding up as best as can be. My heart goes out to you and the family as you prepare for what is needed to get you back to health.It sounds like exercising is something you love and I hope your next steps will enable you to continue that.
If you find you need more support I wanted to share my positive experience with my hospital’s oncology exercise rehabilitation program. I was surprised by the fatigue and some heart issues i encountered as a result of the treatment and how it was affecting my confidence and exercise routine. So I joined the program and had a tailored individual program developed for me, but the laughs with others were an added bonus. Having the exercise physiotherapists and the medical team around the corner gave me a lot of assurance. Here’s hoping your routine and pace won’t be too impacted and wishing you all the very best.2 -
@iserbrown & @Tri , thanks so much for your support, and that's good Tri about your exercise program.Glad you enjoy it.I also find walking around an off leash dog park near me is very comforting, the dogs all happy and care free, it makes me happy!I'll keep you updated.

Morning All!
I am just waiting to go in and have my MRI and PET scans, but I wanted to say how wonderful Charlotte Tottman's podcasts are. She explains so well the brain fog and shock at her diagnosis, despite her expertise as a psychologist. We are all human and all react physiologically to stress and shock. It's so good to remember that when you feel scared and alone. It's now been two weeks since my biopsies and I wonder if I'll ever be back to my cheery self. Having lost my husband two years ago, this journey is extra lonely (despite the support of my wonderful children).5 -
Best wishes for to today. @LJS. The tests are for me nothing compared to the wait for results. I have a core biopsy today at 1pm. I have to wait till the 16 August for results grrrr.5

All the best to you, too @cranky_granny xx. Oooh - that's a long wait!!
Can you not ring your Onc early & just get a 'yay or nay' next week & then the full on report appointment the week after? xx
All the best @LJS for your resutls - great that Charlotte's podcasts are helping you - they really are very good.
Yes, you WILL go back to your cheery self ..... just keep trying doing sutff you really love doing (as you are able, depending on your surgery/treatments.). Treat yourself now & then too. Yes, it is a lonely journey on your own - same with me xx. Big hugs xx
@Cindi - how are you going? xx. You are in all our thoughts xxx

You are right @cranky_granny The waiting is definitely the worst. I lay there during the scans yesterday, as the dye ran through me, wondering if I was lighting up like a Christmas tree. I can't stand the thought of waiting until next week to face my surgeon again and what I might hear. Thankyou everyone for the virtual hugs. I so need them at the moment5

Wishing you all the best with your results next week @ajs, I will be thinking of you. Hugs0
