    Sorry friend because if you are seeking answers like this here then you should definitely seek a second opinion.

    Some states like Oklahoma you must leave immediately and go out of state if you want to find quality kidney cancer care. I've been fighting cancer over 10 years and am commonly traveling back to Denver CO or up to Rochester MN for treatment and scans. I get scans typically every 3 months and usually have a CT of my chest and MRI of my abdomen and pelvic. Was doing a whole body nuclear bone scan for quite a while but once that was ruled out after 5 years it was no longer needed and only done annually to check for changes. All my best to you and I wish you all the success going forward.
