Working on Year 5!

Year 5

Dear Brenda, I am so happy for you. I just had kidney surgery and it has gone to my lungs.  I have clear cell renal carcinoma.  Don't really know what that means.  I have to have a brain MRI and a bone scan next week.  Also, I have to have a lung biopsy done because I just finished treatment in June 2014 for anal cancer which the treatment was successful, but they don't know wheather the lungs have anal or renal cells.   I went for my year check-up for that cancer when they found the kindey cancer.  Not sure what kind of treatment I am having and do not know much about the different types of chemo they use.  Any info about your treatment or type of cancer would be helpful.  I am more afraid of this cancer then I was for the anal cancer.

 

Thanks, Kathy

Surgeries have been my only treatments!

Kathy,

     You are already so amazing to have made it through one cancer and now to have to deal with a second!  My first year of having kidney cancer was just a blur to me.  I have had right kidney removed, bottom portion of right lower lung removed, and had 2 brain surgeries.  And life is wonderful! First and foremost do not stop living, keep making plans, and keep coming to this forum.

   I wish you the best of luck and have a 100% faith in you that you can also beat this awful cancer!

                                     Prayers for good health for us all,
