  rcc is such an awful cancer. I am sorry for your dad but everyday they are coming up with better treatment and maybe soon there will be something better to help your dad. Mine was a stage 1 going into a stage 2 so I am very lucky they caught it early. However, everyday I live my life to the fullest. I have lost both of my parents to different reasons so I know how you feel. Love your dad and tell him you love him every day. I will keep you in my prayers.

  Hi Ken. I read your note about your Dad's recent diagnosis. My husband's story seems similar to your Dad's. He was diagnosed in November 08 with metastatic renal cell to the lungs, four years after having surgery to remove his kidney. Surgery for the lungs isn't an option, since it's in too many lobes. The available options seem to be a drug called Sutent and perhaps bone marrow transplant. We need to learn more about both. The doc mentioned there is a clinical trial in the Boston area using Sutent in combo with chemo. I think it would be ok for you to not always be strong around your Dad. Your Dad might want to know how you feel. I know that my husband wants me to be strong generally, but is ok with an occasional breakdown and some tears. He's noticed that when I'm sort of up and hyper, that's really a symptom of anxiety about the situation. He likes it when I'm just calm and sitting around watching some dumb show on TV with him and calling out crossword clues. I use crosswords to calm my hyperactivity and anxiety. I'm off work for two weeks over Christmas and already realize that I'm missing work because it was a distraction from thinking about the situation. It's hard not to be constantly aware, but respite time is important. I'll probably do some Christmas cooking tonight to get my mind off it. Best wishes to you. Coloradopioneer
