From someone who has been where you are now, albeit a different cancer, I understand. What I can say, the early days of diagnosis were by far the darkest for me. The fear, the unknown, the uncertainty, I hear you. Once I had a treatment plan it was still tough, I won’t deny it, but it was easier than the before. It gave me a focus and each hurdle was a goal.
I’m now 6 years on from those dark days, I still think about it but it doesn’t consume my every thought any more. You will get there, I remember hearing other peoples survival stories and couldn’t think beyond it for me, but I’m still alive and appreciate my life more.
If I can help, please reach out, I might not have the answers, but I understand.
Lots of love

Indeed 
Think it might be tonsillitis as my dangle bit is sore and tonsils are very swollen with white blotches on them, but the worst part is I’ve been tossed pillar to post trying to get to see a doctor and no one is being helpful at all and as a last resort I’ve had to call 111 to get help

By luck I got seen at the hospital which took me less than 5 mins for a doctor to say yep it’s bad case of tonsillitis and gave me some antibiotics, already starting to feel better and am planing on submitting a complaint to my local surgery as it shouldn’t have taken me so much effort to try get seen and then resort to taking up a medical hospital doctors time when they’ve got patients to look after

@AJSTAR well done for getting seen to, and hopefully the Antibiotics will start to work quickly, as for the making a complaint I would definitely make them aware of the outcome and their failure to test you accordingly ! Good luck another little win 
So sorry to hear @Gazza_64. You always seem really upbeat and positive so I know you’ll get though this. I hope you have a good support system around you- you’ll always have the forum! Sending lots of hugs and support xx

Hi all a quick update after this afternoons festivities with the surgeon he has explained the procedure and status to me and the Mrs , nothing has really changed in relation to what we knew , appointment for pre op with in 2 to 3 weeks surgery should be with a 4 week period then once completed a further 4 to 6 weeks recoup so hopefully all done dusted in the New Year the Tumour is 6 1/2 cm and is localised in my left kidney ( I won this bet which side it was in against my mrs ) so removal is imminent and the best procedure for me ! thanks for all your support again
