Three years ago my ds1, who was 45 at the time, was diagnosed with kidney cancer. After many months of worry he had the cancerous kidney removed and he now has scans once a year and is completely clear.
Four weeks ago ds2, who is 46 had blood in his urine and he has since had a cystoscopy and then last Friday he had a ct scan and this morning he was called to say that he needs an mri scan as soon as possible which looks like something has been seen on the scan.
Ds2 was told when he saw the doctor for the cystoscopy that because his brother has had kidney cancer he was 40% more likely to get it. He has the mri scan on the 28th December and doesn’t want the wider family, who we will see over Christmas, to know. I am so worried for him but need to reassure him but I am not sure how we will get through the next couple of weeks.
I am hoping that if it is cancer that if he has cancer it has been found early. I could do with positive vibes.
