What is/was yours? 

  ======================

Anyone else out there with transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) also called urothelial carcinoma (UCC) in the kidney?

It's the 2nd most common type of kidney cancer.  This type of cancer can happen in the bladder, ureter, urethra or kidney. It's the most common type of bladder cancer.

    Papillary Non-Clear Cell

    Papillary Non-Clear Cell metastatic Renal Cell carcinoma, Type II. (Spread to lymph nodes & possibly liver.)

    12 cm.

    I was so happy to get that mess out of me 6.5 weeks ago! I got the rare type, most aggressive type, they told me. Foot in Mouth

    But maybe they got it all. Had a huge thrombus that should've actually done me in, but I got lucky!! 

    They didn't catch this early. I had no symptoms until it became a monster. That part is scary! 

    I have 16 1/2" of cuts, an upside down Y. Can't wait for that to heal. Coming along nicely. I'm just getting impatient.

    Trying to behave and take my 60 mg Cabometyx every day. 

    Wishing you all well.

    Sarcomatoid

    My SIL, John, has RCC with 60% sarcomatoid features which makes it very aggressive.
