Where is everyone?

Great post and I do agree.... It is a strange thing. We live in a society now that lacks committment and social skills. Communication is no longer an art. I also agree that we should discuss finances and how this affects us in every way. Why not?? We have all gone through or are going through it. This is real life. Why not be honest? Why not open ourselves and be vulnerable. Write posts with honesty and be genuine with answers. My surgery is one week from today and I appreciate all the tips I have received. We like to be islands unto ourselves, but now is not the time. I find it helpful when some of you really open up and share. Brave even. It is also comforting to know that if you made it through then there is hope for the rest of us. Thank you for your post!

Gee SUZ,

I am so happy to hear from you. You lost the Captn, too fast. So sad. It is awesome you are so involved. I bet it is extremely satisfying. I can feel it in your post.

Stay well. Everyone needs you.

I am guilty of not posting for quite a while but Ihave had so mch going on and im sorry I let you people down.  You all help so much when I was diagnosed with kidney cancer and i will try to get back on here more regular to help with others.  Since i last posted I have had throid tumors the have biopsied and all was well.  This past Feb. I had a total knee replacement and i have been working since then to get my knee back in shape.  Still swollen.  I had a large lymph node under  my arm they biopsy and do not know why its swollen and that it is a fluid collecting in it but no clue where the fluid is coming from.  Istill have the mass in my right breast they watch every 6 months.  I now have liver disease, my liver is swollen below rib cage and they monitor that,  causes a lot of pain.  THen i had six month scans and found changes in the surgical site of kidney where cancer was in in August  so done an ultrasound of all my organs and found mass in liver and mass in left kidney.  Had a MRI last week and the changes in the kidney area is fat necrosis that is going up to the tip of liver.  Now i dont know all  i have to go through.  I dont feel good most of the time.  Very tired. no appetite.  I complained a year with pain in my left upper back and had scans in august 2016 feb2017 and aug 2017 and none of radiologist said anything about the pain until this August and i have a non healing fractured rib in the back.  Lung doc looked back at the scans and could not believe they did not mention that and it is plain as day on scan.  So my liver doc is on medical leave, cancer center gave me to nurse practitioner in august my 5 year survival so i get her now to watchmy scans and she knows nothing.  She said this MRI last week was a good scan!!!!   So my family doc said she had a gut feeling I need to go to Mayo Clinic with fresh eyes and fresh docs to take over me and check me out with all this stuff going on.  She said necerotic tissue would not still be there after 5 years.  It would have been gone long ago after surgery.  So I dont know.  Thats why I not been on here,  But I need the support and I will do better.  I seen where Someone said Stomps passed.  Sorry to hear.   But I need prayers, vibes as I travel around to new docs far from home.  Hope you are stable Fox.  Miss you.

I just like to lurk.

I'm an introvert, so I will spend most of my time reading, and not interacting.

I've also had a stable few months since surgery to rebuild my tumor addled hip.

I've really tried to live a bit of a normal (pre-diagnosed) life while I was able, before roped my back in to reality.

I also use the word "I" a lot, I've just noticed. It's embarassing....probably part of the reason I don't post much
