    hi all

    my father had a kidney removed due to a cancerous tumour 3 years ago, last year he was diagnosed with a tumour in the remaining kidney , just today we got news that that tumour has now enlarged at a rapid rate and may be cancerous, either way surgery and removal of the remaining kidney looks pretty immediate. Anyone else ever heard of a similair case? Advice?

    Thanks

    I would advise talking to his doctor(s) rather than on here.


    Hope he's okay.:)

    deirdre,

    i hope your father does ok.

    we dont allow medical advice here. he should discuss his options with the team treating him.

    best of luck
