Best of luck with treatment, I had my appendics removed back in late july and on the CT scan they found a large mass on my right kidney , I went into surgery on the 25th Sept and had half my right kidney removed due to the cancer they found, if my appendics hadn't played up this wouldn't have been found. just back to work after 7 weeks off with a clean bill of health they got it all and it was isolated to the kidney , the only thing I have to put up with is 6 monthly blood tests and scans , a small price to pay. As i said before all the best with treatment , have a great Christmas and enjoy life to the fullest.
