Renal Cell Cancer

I am a 58 year old Australian male. In November 2001 I had an operation to remove my right kidney and the tumor attached to it. In January 2002 I was given the 'all clear' and in May 2002 I was told that the cancer had returned and was now in the venacava vein, near the heart and it was also in some glands at the back of my stomach. I would like to chat with anyone who has had a similar experience about their diagnosis, treatment and attitude towards life after recieving the diagnosis. Thank you. Gerard.

I had my left kidney along with lymph nodes taken out in November of 2001. I have had two scans which were negative. My only complaint so far is presssure where I was cut.

Hello. I am a 30 year old female living in canada. I had stage 3 kidney cancer and had my kidney removed also. So far everything is good. They say they got it all. Makes you wonder though if you can get it the first time what's to say it won't come back again. I have just gone for my set of tests and am waiting for the results. How did you find out you had it in the first place? Take care.
