Hello,
We’re sorry to hear that. A kidney cancer diagnosis can be emotionally and physically overwhelming, but timely medical care can make a big difference. Here’s what you need to know and do next:
Understanding Kidney Cancer
Kidney cancer usually starts in the tissues of the kidney. The most common type is renal cell carcinoma. Early stages may not show symptoms, but later signs can include:
-
Blood in urine
-
Pain in the lower back or side
-
Unexplained weight loss or fatigue
What Should You Do Next?
-
Confirm the Diagnosis
-
Ensure the cancer has been diagnosed via CT scan, biopsy, or imaging tests.
-
A urologist or oncologist should be involved to plan the right course.
-
-
Understand the Stage
-
Treatment depends heavily on whether the cancer is localised, advanced, or has spread (metastasis).
-
-
Possible Treatments
-
Surgery (like partial or full nephrectomy) – is often done if the cancer is confined to the kidney.
-
Targeted therapy, immunotherapy, or chemotherapy – if the cancer has spread.
-
Radiation therapy in certain cases.
-
-
Take a Second Opinion
-
Always beneficial before starting a major treatment.
