I'm guessing there is no "easy" answer. At least, none that I have found. I think it may depend on the type of RCC and other factors. Maybe ask your physician? I've seen a wide variety and it freaked me out, so I decided that it doesn't matter because I am going to live each day to the fullest and hope I stay disease free!

Annie is right in the ballpark. In my pre-op meetings with my surgical team they said that if it was stage 1 I had about a 5% chance of reoccurrence. I try not to focus on those numbers...although it was a boost in my confidence.

i remember you
You and Glider have the same papillary... your mInds must be synching
Justin for your small size stats says anything from 90 to 97%
i was in the same place as you six months ago...4.4cm .. and my fear was off the scale .. just like you
i lost my husband to cancer and have two sons. I did not want history repeating
We kinda both struck lucky
Yours was small
Mine turned out to be a chromie which is supposed to be less aggressive
i Have scared my Consultant into submission by practually ringing him every week with a new sympton
But six months down the line the fear is easing
the only thing we can do now is fight and ensure we get good testing
Hang on tight and it will get easier..

God I read that and my eyes missed the 30% bit
that is scary but not backed up
Urology Europe say 90% for five years and vary for 10 years with lowest figure being 85% for stage one
those are old data too
no idea where the 30% comes from
i need to explore this
