CT scans
I had my left kidney removed 3 months ago. I'm terrified of CT scans because of the radiation. I had stage 2 cancer but a grade 4 tumor. Luckily the cancer was just localized to the kidney.( I'm a big believer in diet and exercise so maybe that helped the cancer from spreading). I eat lots of organic veggies,fruit, and…

Kidney Pie
The following is a copy of an earlier post I filed under Humor, but I believe it belongs here as well. My wife decided we should go to a bed and breakfast on the Canadian side of Lake Huron a few weeks before my Kidney Cancer Surgery.

Having a life after Kidney Cancer
Holiday greetings to everyone who pops into this board. I'm here to tell you that having hope for a future, the support of friends and family, and some goals for yourself will go a long way toward reaching those goals. It's been 4 1/2 years since I was "sort of" given a terminal sentence of 5-7 months with metastatic…

Well I'm in now
54 yrs old with a hand-assisted Laproscopic Rt Radial Nephrectomy set for Dec 17th. Saturday, Oct 16 - 2010 , I wake up with an “ache” mid lower right back. Just a nagging type of annoyance.

Blood in Urine
My father had bladder cancer in 1998. He had his bladder prostrate and urethra removed. Now he has blood in his urine. It started off pink in Sept and now it is dark. He had no pain or itchiness. His oncologist has ordered a CT scan. We are scared again!
