It’s been a minute since I have been in the #mastodon world.
I was diagnosed with stage 2 grade 2 clear cell renal carcinoma. I’m 32 years old and soon to be 33. I was given the “go home and don’t come back convo” from my oncologist which is great.
My first scans on May 31st were clean, and my next ones are October 31st. Would love to connect with other #cancer folks here if there are any.
If this doesn’t apply to you, that’s fine, but boost if you can ❤️👏🏻❗️
I'm no spring chicken at 74 YOA, but I was disgnosed with adenocarcinoma of the prostate about 18 months ago via an MRI scan and a needle biopsy. The hospital in Luxembourg where I am being treated or rather monitored as no treatment has been suggested at this stage, is a centre of excellence for this particular type of tumour (reassuring that). The verdict of my urologist and of the cancer committee who revieve all cancer cases at that hospital is that at this stage, no treatment is indicated or required other than 'watchful waiting'.
This is fine by me as most interventions for this type of tumour involve a high risk of rather undesireable side effects that include, faecal incontinence, urinary incontinence and impotence!
