Wife, mummy to wonderful son, cat and three dogs. I also live with an unwelcome add on called SPMS.

It’s been a minute since I have been in the #mastodon world.

I was diagnosed with stage 2 grade 2 clear cell renal carcinoma. I’m 32 years old and soon to be 33. I was given the “go home and don’t come back convo” from my oncologist which is great.

My first scans on May 31st were clean, and my next ones are October 31st. Would love to connect with other #cancer folks here if there are any.

If this doesn’t apply to you, that’s fine, but boost if you can ❤️👏🏻❗️

@ManOfRust oh no😔 hope you feel better soon and that it is as mild as it can be xx
@OcreJulia this is a new GP as we did move. I haven't met him yet as I saw a nurse practitioner who got advice from someone more senior. I went online and read the results and GP notes after they rang me. I think because no bugs were found that's why he wants to wait two weeks. I will contact sooner if it gets worse as I'm worried about my kidneys.
@OcreJulia Oh no😔
I am tired again today from waking up. I am on my last day of strong antibiotics and my white cell count was still high last night. Normally, antibiotics work when I have a problem which has been far less since taking low dose all the time. I'm confused and concerned.
Have you seen any improvement or is it too early to tell?
@cpep thank you, will do x

@OcreJulia thank you xx
I take D-mannose as well. I'm on a 3 monthly rotation of low dose antibiotics as well as I was constantly getting infections.
This time feels different and the GP said no bugs but I have too many white cells regardless. I just don't know what it means.

I really hope your meds work as bladder spasms sound horrendous xx

Hello, I need some advice. Has anyone been told they have increased white cells in their urine but no infection? I have to repeat the sample in two weeks. Quite worried as frequency is awful and unable to sleep through the night.
Has any of my fellow spoonies tried CBD isolate gummies? x
@OcreJulia I've had experience in the past. I used to work for a Vets and was there for many years. I miss caring for animals and I currently have 3 dogs and one cat. I've always adopted cats through work, so no problem. However, adopting a dog is just so so hard. There is a dog at the moment, same breed as ours who was a stray, brought in by the Warden. We meet all the criteria and they rang this morning all enthusiastic. As soon as I mentioned we were moving to the countryside, nope.
I've had it with rehoming centres.
