In some cases, kidney cancer can come back after treatment.
It may come back in the same area in which it first started (a local recurrence) or it may develop in a different part of the body (a metastasis or secondary cancer). If this happens, your doctor will talk to you about your different treatment options.
You may also find it helpful to contact our cancer support specialists|. They will be able to listen to you, provide support and give you information.
For answers, support or just a chat, call the Macmillan Support Line free (Monday to Friday, 9am-8pm)
If you have any questions about cancer, need support or just want someone to talk to, ask Macmillan.
