However, treatment wise, I was told I would need extensive RT, CT & Surgery again. This was 2 months ago and I have not been phoned, emailed, written to, anything. Whilst writing this, the condition is getting worse. I feel like the system has just forgotten about me? And when phoning the medical team I am told "We will get back to you" I am on constant pain medicine and sedatives to put me to sleep.
What do I do now? Lay in my bed and let the inevitable happen? Let the reaper take ahold of me?

I am very sorry that you are going through this. My dad had kidney cancer 12 years ago and they took out his kidney. We thought he was in the clear then after 11 years it came back. He went to heaven May 4, 2014. Try calling or going down there. Take someone with you. Don't give up and don't wait for someone to contact you. this is your life take control of it. I wish you the best of luck.
