Hi, do you mind me asking about your kidney cancer? What type of cancer is it and what type of treatment do you need to have? It is a bit of a bugger to have 2 cancers at the same time. I hope all the treatments go well for you. Just to let you know, it was discovered that I only had one kidney when I was about 8 years old, and tripped up some stairs and ruptured it. Being my only kidney, it shut down and I became very sick. Lots of tests later, they discovered that I only had one kidney, and a dead looking kidney stump on the other side. The doctors had no idea if I was born with 2 kidneys and one became diseased and died, or if it was like that from birth. Anyway, it healed well, and it has caused me no issues throughout my life. I was able to successfully carry 4 pregnancies to term, which is
something the doctors use to say might be a problem
for me. My kidney has done the work of 2 kidneys even
though it had been injured many years ago.
Good luck with all your treatments.
Love Chris xx
