Renal Cell Carcinoma (Kidney Cancer) Support Group
Renal cell carcinoma, also known by a gurnistical tumor, is the most common form of kidney cancer arising from the renal tubule. It is the most common type of kidney cancer in adults. Initial therapy is with surgery. It is notoriously resistant to radiation therapy and chemotherapy, although some cases respond to immunotherapy.

Hello, I just joined the group, well a few months ago I was diagnosed with clear cell renal carcinoma that had spread to the liver. I immediately went in for surgery to have the left kidney and 12.5cm mass removed followed by a surgery to have the left side of my liver removed. All was well until a I had a CT scan a few weeks later that showed that the cancer had spread to the lungs, the other side of the liver, and a few other parts of the body. The biggest tumor at 3cm in my pelvis region. I am currently taking an infusion of torisel, 25mg once a week, as a chemo therapy. Now, I am not one to just lie down and take it so I am looking for answers as to what other people are using and if they have had any success. I asked a few doctors about what I can do to improve my chances, they always say the same thing, "nothing." It was not until a current cancer patient highly recomended a nutrionist that I learned that I can do more than nothing. The nutrionist has perscribed curcumin, glutamine, Ip6, vitamin D, and melatonin. I have since added chaga tincture and tea, Milk thistle, and ginger. So hit me up if you have any questions or hope for the future.

Ever since I stopped doing therapy because of insurance, I've been feeling that old tense and irritable sense of anxiety and stress. I hate that. I was making so many strides and changes during therapy, my therapist would acknowledge all of my progress and accomplishments, and I miss that reassurance. Today I thought about it, and I made those changes! She would always tell me that I chose to...
