About 2 months ago my mother was diagnosed with cancer in the kidney. The specialist decided to remove the kidney and the operation took place about 6 weeks ago. She seems to be healing well and yesterday she was back in to discuss the situation with her specialist.
They said on a scale of low medium and high the cancer was a medium level. they think that removing the kidney worked well and the cancer was contained and no further treatment is needed, thankfully!!!. On the previous scan though there was a small blemish in the chest cavity area. The consultant said it was a 2 cm mark on her thymus he casually told her if its an issue they will whip it out.
She sees the specialist on January 7th regarding that. She Is concerned as in the last 18 months she has had her hip transplant which has left her with a limp. Then the kidney op and the thought of another op removing the Thymus is weighing heavily on her mind. Were there to support her and will be reading up on thymus ops and possible problems this can cause. Hopefully an operation won't be needed though.
