Undefined Renal Cell Carcinoma with Translocation Xp11.2
Just wondering if anyone has had experience themselves or family members with this sub-type of kidney cancer. We were told that this sub-type is usually seen in children, but is rarely seen in adults. My husband is 30 years old and had a radical nephrectomy of his left kidney back in February. Since surgery the cancer has…
How long till surgery?
I am a 29 year old female with a family history of RCC (grandmother died at 50 yrs old from RCC that went undiagnosed for many years). In Jan. of this year I went to a urologist for bladder pain (since diagnosed with IC). The uro sent me in for a CT w/ and w/o contrast to check for other possible problems and they found a…

She was diagnosed with transitional cell cancer and the staging was T3,N1,M0 - stage III. Her medical oncologist will begin a 4-week cycle treatment using…
Personal symptoms of renal cancer
Hi there! I'm very eager to hear about the symptoms that people have experienced before they were diagnosed with renal cancer. I know that many were found "by accident" with no previous symptoms. I've also read that kidney cancer isn't supposed to cause pain, though many experience it. This being said I would dearly love…
Lap Radical Nephrectomy - What should I expect post-op?
I am 39 years old and I was recently diagnosed with a T1 Renal Tumor. I am scheduled for a laparoscopic radical nephrectomy the end of April. I have found multiple blogs about open nephrectomies but not many from people who have undergone a lap procedure. Can anyone give me some information about what to expect…
ccRCC and VHL
Does anyone out there identify their clear cell RCC is related to VHL, http://www.vhl.org/profinfo/kidney.php? I was diagnosed with ccRCC at age of 50. Early this year my mother, age 90, also found a tumor in her left kidney. This put me into thinking that my family may have genetic defect(s) for kidney cancer. Jon

New to this site
Hello, I'm new here and I have been "lurking" as it were, over many cancer related sites, and decided to join this one.... A year ago today, I fell and broke my upper arm (Right Humorus) and I went to the ER..They took xrays and told me that I should contact an Orthopedic Surgeon ASAP because the xray showed a "pathologic…
treatment choices
Tomorrow I will meet with an oncologist to discuss possible treatments for my kidney cancer. I had surgery Jan. 7 to remove a kidney and other tumors (this is Stage 4, I assume). Things went well, I was back on my feet in an amazingly short time. But now the cancer is showing signs of coming back, and I face a choice of 1)…
FOLLOW UP CHECK-UPS
