in Kidney Cancer #1

Hi All. 

Not quite sure how I feel about the discharged bit @ 5 years.

But, apparently I have been very lucky. 

I am fit, healthy and oficially a survivor of PT3a Kidney Cancer.

I feel humble and very blessed.

I was looked after with love, respect and care by everyone of my medical team. 

I hope this gives you hope in your respected journeys.

Much love from the UK.

    Hello,

    Hello,

     

    these are wonderful news indeed! That shows how confident docs are about your health. I'd like to second Iceman though - maybe you could do an abdominal US and chest x-ray from time to time for your own reassurance? Like once in couple of years?

     

    Wish you NED forever!

    Congrats, that's wonderful

    Congrats, that's wonderful news. But I do agree that evey now and then an US and x-ray would not be a bad idea.

    Thanks .....

    Thanks for good wishes.

    I plan Xrays etc...

    I also think I would be aware of how I felt at the time in the lead up to diagnosis.

    June .... I was grade 1 to 2 classed as intermediate risk on my path report.

    Same here

    I just received five years ned and I was also told that I'm done no more Ct scans . Just to go to my yearly checkup . I'm in Ohio. It's a relief that I'm considered cured and don't need any treatment but also seems odd no more scans. I think I will request us and X-rays every three years . Iceman do you still get scans ?
