5 year scan
The results from my 5 year scan. No cancer. None. The doctor said that it was unusual for someone to have a tumor as big as mine (10 cm) and then have no more cancer. But, I am that guy. He said "you did it. You made it." Not gonna lie, I cried right then. No more scans, only an x ray next year. I do have a small kidney…

Waiting
Sitting in my surgeon's office waiting to talk with him about results of five year follow up ultrasound... from everything I can tell it's all ok. Creatinine a bit higher; egfr a bit lower. Have not done chest X-ray yet. Will head down the hall for that after talking with him. Shout out to my 2016 buds. Take care all ~

10 years cancer free! and pushing for continued observation in Pittsburgh
I haven't been here in quite some time - a couple of years. It is great to see old faces and I offer good will for those of you who are new. I was "accidentally" diagnosed with stage 1 RCC at 42 years old - it showed up on a CT for another issue. I had a hand-assisted radical nephrectomy and adrenalectomy on July 6, 2011.…

I had my annual scan Tuesday and the doctor said it all looked like a perfectly normal CT scan except for a 1.4 cm lesion(approximately the size of a sweet pea)on my liver. The radiologist suggested a liver mri to confirm benignity,…

Adult Wilm's Tumur
I was diagnosed with a Wilm's tumor at 45 years old. I was told many times that this is very rare. Are there any other members that have been diagnosed with this as an adult?? Would like to hear from someone else that has been through the same experience. I have not been able to find out much information on this topic…
