in Kidney Cancer #1

I have stage 1 kidney cancer, the good news is Dr thinks he can do a partial removal , he also said that it not an aggresive one and no chemo or radiation  Trying to get surgey scheduled in the next 2 weeks, as I want it out ASAP

 

This is the best news that I could have hoped for considering the mass was over 5CM

    Sal,

    Hopefully they are able to execute without making a game time change of play.

    Hopefully

    surgery will be smooth and soon

     

    You  have had a long wait..it’s not easy but once it’s gone you will be much more calm and ready to deal with this whole saga

    another Step closer to getting it out

    Have they give you any possible dates at all

    Hi, Sal

    I have a question, did the doctor say how he/she knows it is not agressive?  I may be confused but I thought they could only tell level of agressivenness in the pathology--especially with a stage 1 tumor.

    Stub, I had a biopsy done

    Stub, I had a biopsy done last week. Apparentely, the Dr was able to tell by that. Not sure, all I know is that I want it the heck out of me ASAP

    Hoping to get it done in the next 2 weeks
