Overview
At any stage of development of Kidney Cancer before, during or after treatment there may be a need to consider control of pain or other symptoms including psychological assistance. These treatments are palliative, symptom management or supportive care respectively. The psychological side effects of a cancer diagnosis are as medically real as any other symptom or side effect and help can be obtained through your Doctors or via various charities who can help.
At any stage of treatment as a patient you have every right to be kept informed and ask questions. You may wish to halt and think your treatment schedule out again or investigate other treatments and the possibility of clinical drug trials.
