      From brusk Wednesday

      Margie, You are so sweet! Thank you for being such an encouragement to me. I've about decided to go. Even though I feel so tired now, in another five days I'll go off the Sutent and will feel less tired then, I'm told. Besides, my friends in Cape Town tell me they will take care of me and not to worry! Hope you're doing well, my dear.

    • Close Renal Cell Carcinoma (Kidney Cancer)

      I am 35 and had back pain so dr ordered MRI of back and found a walnut size mass on my right kidney a week later I did a CT with contrast and found that it was a tumor that is likely to produce cancer cells 3 weeks later I saw a urologist and on 12/16/08 I had the tumor, lymph nodes and adreanal glands removed. The path report shows that it had started to spread to the sinus cavity area but he thinks he got it all we just have to wait and see. From what I understand this is a stage 2 or 3 RCC.

      Treatments

      Nephrectomy Working / Worked
      Removed right kidney 12/16/08 and went home on 12/20/08. VERY PAINFUL. I sleep in a recliner and I am very weak and tired. I had the open procedure so my scar is about 10 inchs long.
    • Close Back Pain

      I have severe pain in my low back, and my shoulders feel like bricks are sitting on them. I have bulging discs in my back and neck. I have cervical straighting and sciaticia.

      if the chiropractor does not work we are considering this
