A lot has happened in the last six months, but I am still here.
To recap, in May it was found that I had a mass on my left Kidney and a lesion lower right Lung. Despite assurances about being on top of a list, the wheels of the NHS ground very slow, punctuated by absent papers at consultations and, an apparent reluctance to operate due to my COPD.
Finally, my consultant supported by his anaesthetist agreed to operate and a full left Nephrectomy was performed on the 17th October. Keyhole surgery permitted a swift recovery and I was back home in 6 days with lifting and driving bans for three weeks or so.
Awaited is the next appointment with my consultant to determine the results of the biopsy on the removed mass,
