About kidney cancer
About 90% of kidney cancers (9 out of 10) are renal cell cancers. Renal cancer usually only affects one kidney.
Cancer can lead to extra expenses. By assessing your situation, you can plan ahead to meet your needs.
Our volunteers offer practical and emotional support to people affected by cancer. We want to make sure no one goes through cancer alone.
Our local centres offer free, confidential information and support. If you or a loved one has questions about cancer, we’re here.
