Some rather worrying events have come to pass in my life and my physical health has taken a hit for the worse. I have got a large tumor in my right kidney (8cm big, 95 percent chance cancerous), huge gastric varicies with portal hypertension and various other medical issues. I am worried that I am going to die to be honest.


I have faith I won't but none the less I still worry its a possibility and I am dreading what the liver specialist is going to say to me in a weeks time as I fear they might put forward a liver transplant which means two serious operations...

I had leukemia as a child and lost my mother as a child too
 
8cm is huge. With regards to your mortality, speak to your doctor and the specialist and do ask about quantity of life versus quality of life.

Best of luck.
 
What age are you?
Can't make it a medical thread, but that's a big bunch to be dealing with, the varices are ni laughing matter, even if they can throw the kidney in the bin and get rid of that issue.
Good luck fella.
 
I'm really sorry to hear your health problems. I know it must be absolutely terrifying. Try to take as much care of yourself as possible, follow doctors advice and keep pushing them to get investigations and treatment as soon as possible. I won't pretend to know how you feel. No-one can. But wishing you the best outcome possible.

The specialist (one of the best) said I had a 5 percent chance of death with the kidney. Its the varicies that worry me they are a killer. They blew put twice back in 2008 and nearly killed me on both occasions. Advantages are I am young, of good weight and exercise daily.
 
Yep life sucks i guess you get dealt your cards and sometimes its just a bad hand no matter how you play it.

Good luck at the docs, i hope it works out for you. Stay positive if you can.

Got any other family and friends? might be a good time to have a little catch up.
 
Just want to echo what others have said here, and wish you all the best. I can't imagine how you must be feeling right now. Hopefully you have lots of friends, family and loved ones who can be there for you.

Why are you seeing a liver specialist for kidney problems?

By the way if you're in Walsgrave at least you have UHCW on your doorstep, which is a seriously good hospital in my experience.

Secondary effects of my leukemia medicines as child means I have a small liver with scarring aka cirrhosis. Also have splenmogely, reduced platelet count and lymphocytes. I live very near the UHCW and have a number of specialists on my case ( Dr unit, Dr omar and dr Antony blacker)

My dad's in the Caludon center had a nervous breakdown from it all and my dad's gf has taken a stance against me because police were rang in regards to there laughing at mental health service and wasting the ambulances time by commiting acts of self harm and saying was going to commit suicide then later saying they had no intention of doing so.
