Working on Year 5!

Year 5

Dear Brenda, I am so happy for you. I just had kidney surgery and it has gone to my lungs.  I have clear cell renal carcinoma.  Don't really know what that means.  I have to have a brain MRI and a bone scan next week.  Also, I have to have a lung biopsy done because I just finished treatment in June 2014 for anal cancer which the treatment was successful, but they don't know wheather the lungs have anal or renal cells.   I went for my year check-up for that cancer when they found the kindey cancer.  Not sure what kind of treatment I am having and do not know much about the different types of chemo they use.  Any info about your treatment or type of cancer would be helpful.  I am more afraid of this cancer then I was for the anal cancer.

 

Thanks, Kathy

Kathy,

     You are already so amazing to have made it through one cancer and now to have to deal with a second!  My first year of having kidney cancer was just a blur to me.  I have had right kidney removed, bottom portion of right lower lung removed, and had 2 brain surgeries.  And life is wonderful! First and foremost do not stop living, keep making plans, and keep coming to this forum.

   I wish you the best of luck and have a 100% faith in you that you can also beat this awful cancer!

                                     Prayers for good health for us all,
