Good News
I had a chest cat scan this month that is still clear and has been since December 2011. I had been diagnosed with stage IV kidney cancer with mets to the lungs in april 2011. I have been on votrient since July 2011 and oncologist is now stopping the votrient and will repeat chest scan in 6 months. He is not totally convinced that the nodules were cancer to begin with. Although excited to come off the medication, I am a little nervous. Has anyone else been told this?

Hello, glad to hear the good
Hello, glad to hear the good news of NED. However, if he wants to stop the meds, he should scan in 3 months, not six, just my opinion. He is not convinced that it was RCC? Why did he say that? Were the tests on the tumors inconclusive? I am a bit unsure what he means. In any case, have a happy medicine holiday, i know you will enjoy it! Keep us posted!! Hugs!

The nodules were never biopsied. I had to change oncologists about a year ago.
