in Kidney Cancer #1

Sorry it has been a while it has been crazy around here lately.

Patrice and I are awaiting the results of my CT scan from last week but it does not look good. I say this because the same day I had the scan afterwards when I got home I reached for a cup of water and I heard a loud crack and then I had extreme pain in my left shoulder and arm. The ER doctor said I fractured my left shoulder and that it happened because my cancer has entered my bones so things are not looking good.  I hope that everyone else is doing well.

 

Mark

    Dang

    Man, I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you get relief from the pain and injury. Radiation really helped my bone metastasis.

    Bones

    Mark, first of all, I am sorry for what happened with your shoulder; depending on your CT scan tomorrow, radiation may be a good option. 

    The treatments you have had so far do not impact bones so the options are either surgery, radiation or both.

    please let us know the results and don't despair; there are options

    Sorry to hear about your shoulder.  Geesh, trying to do your kidneys a favor and keep 'em hydrated and it sure didn't go according to plan.  Do keep us posted.
