Oncologist said he'd "bet his house" on new treatment

"She said probably not 10, at least based on where we are today. *Whomp*  However, she did say that could change as new things come out."

Both my primary oncologist and radation oncologist have assured me that there's lots of progress in the kidney cancer arena. The radiation oncologist even said he'd "bet his house" that there'll be another new treatment available when whatever I'm on stops working.  This was not the case several years ago.

I cannot begin to imagine the thoughts and feelings going through your mind right now. I pray for a good outcome with the meds, and little to no side effects. This group is great - we’ve all got different experiences along our journey and can learn so much from each other (or support someone). 

A member here recommended www.smartpatients.com to me. I recommend them to you if you are not already familiar with them. It’s a different type of support environment, but wonderful information from people who understand what you’re going through. Lots of discussion about meds too. 

Good luck! I look forward to reading your follow up success posts.
