Andy Thomas, of Watford, Hertfordshire, UK, who is a kidney cancer survivor, has created a new website called KidneyCancerResource.com. The site contains information on kidney cancer and other urological cancers . Thomas has created this site along with a fellow kidney/bladder cancer survivor, Greg.

KidneyCancerResource.com is a wiki site where multiple authors can collaborate on creating and maintaining content. Thomas intends on building a 'living, organic site' where patients, caregivers and medical professionals can contribute and share information.

Thomas was diagnosed with kidney cancer last year and underwent a successful radical nephrectomy. You can read his story, from a patient's perspective,here. Since then, Thomas' s prognosis is considered good. Thomas has returned to work and has also made a commitment to remaining as fit as possible.

Symptoms of kidney cancer include blood in the urine, pain in the side that does not go away, a lump or mass in the side or the abdomen and weight loss, tiredness or fever. These symptoms do not mean that cancer is definitely present, but anyone with such symptoms should see a doctor as soon as possible.

If you or someone you love has been diagnosed with kidney cancer and you are looking for more information, here is a compilation of sites from KidneyCancerResource, for both the UK and the US and around the world.
