Please can you help us?

We recently asked if you would provide some questions for an expert video interview we will be producing on the subject Rehabilitation of kidney cancer patients following surgery.

The expert videos will involve clinicians and nurses with experience and knowledge of caring for patients with kidney cancer being asked questions that you would like answered.

Thank you to those who have already provided the following questions for this video:

1. How long before I can drive?
2. How long will I be off work?
3. Will I eventually get back to normal?
4. Will I need any further treatment?

If you have any further questions you would like to ask the expert, please send to karen@actionkidneycancer.org or you can put your questions below this post.

Please can you take the time to support this valuable research that will help patients.
The University of Glasgow has asked us to build awareness of the 'Patient reported outcomes study' by asking patients to complete this survey.
If you have a diagnosis of advanced kidney or liver cancer, we’d like you to take part.
The survey is part of a larger project (the PROMs project) organised by the University of Glasgow and the European Oncology Nursing Society, and will help better understand the patient perspective of living with advanced kidney or liver cancer.
The survey will take you around 15-20 minutes to complete.
Please also note that you don’t have to take the whole survey at once. You can start and then click ‘Finish later’ at the bottom of your screen, and can come back to it when you have time.
To read more about the survey and to start please follow the link below:
