in Kidney Cancer #1

So I was admitted on last Tuesday for an pneumonia , where that came from idk.  Now after a catscan they find it's spreading, growing whatever all while on 60 mg Cabo .  And I have a fluidy mass in my nephrectomy bed that they have now put a drain in my back that had to stay for 5 days and it a holiday weekend.  Initial pathology report is some kind of microorganism is nastily being drained from me and it's absolutely horrible.  Not to mention this whole experience on a cancer wing in a hospital has been ughhh horrible.  So that's my lovely update.  Cancer is a frightening disease !!!!i

    Sorry to hear about this! Do you have nodules in lungs? Could they cause pneumonia?

    Feel better soon!

    I still say

    all of this happened to you too quickly. You have never had  chance to get stable. Hang tough and look forward to getting in control.
