Kidney cancer often comes as a surprise, and many people are in surgery before the news has sunk in. ShareWell has free online support groups for people living with serious illness, where patients, family members and caregivers remind each other that they are not alone.

Topic context

Understanding kidney cancer

Kidney cancer, also called renal cell carcinoma, is commonly treated with surgery to remove all or part of a kidney. Afterward people return for regular exams, lab tests or imaging, and some continue with ongoing drug treatment to keep the cancer in check.

Why it helps

How peer support helps with kidney cancer

Peer support can help with kidney cancer because grief for the life you had before, and guilt about being a burden, are hard to admit at home. Connecting with people who live with cancer makes those feelings easier to say.

Inside the room

What kidney cancer groups often cover

Grief for your health and life before diagnosis
Living with one kidney after surgery
Trouble relaxing or sleeping before follow-up visits
Feeling lonely even with people around you

ShareWell groups are peer support and do not give medical advice, so please keep working with your care team on anything about diagnosis or treatment. If you are in crisis, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.

Good fit for

Frequently asked questions

Is there an online support group for kidney cancer?

Not one for kidney cancer by name. This page lists peer groups for people living with any serious illness, next to gentle sessions like mindfulness, and people with kidney cancer are welcome to join.

How do people cope with worry before a scan?

Many members say it helps to talk about it with people who feel the same before their own appointments. A group gives you a place to do that every week.

Can my family join?

Yes. Each family member can sign up with a free account and attend.

Where can I find medical information about kidney cancer?

The Kidney Cancer Association (kidneycancer.org) has patient information and a patient navigator program.
