Need for a urologist
Comments

I too had a partial in early May this year and was told the same thing. After consulting with my local GP I decided to continue the faith I had in my surgeon and
did not seek input from an oncologist. But that has to be your choice. Whatever makes you most comfortable. I just had my three month CT and everything was clear. Good luck, maintain your positive attitude. You can email me with any questions at gfed@ncn.net if you like.0 -

Why oh why aren't you getting any treatment for your lung metastasis - there are so many new treatments that we have been told works best for mets to the lung - Do you live near a national cancer center?gbro said:I was diagnosed with kidney cancer on 11/10/98 had a full nephrectomy my tumor was 4and 1half pounds.Iseen an oncologist befor my surgery and i still see them every three month with a new set of ct-scans my cancer had spread to my lungs but doing good im not on any kind of med's for my cancer.Do what you think is ok 4 u.trust what your feelings tell you.You rather be safe then sorry.Gary.

My husband received this same advice in Aug 99 when he had his kidney emoved - He was told he was cured and to go live his life - He was followed by his urologist (surgeon) for 2 years with cat scans - He was found in 4/02 to have mets to a lynph node(which eas surgically removed) and in 7/02 to the bone - He is now being followed by an oncologist and has had a complete response to Peg-Introl
So do the follow up cat scans religiously0
