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.
You rant all you want. That is one of the wonderful things about this site. Each of us have our times when we need to "get it out"....and everyone understands.
PLEASE see your doctor asap! If anything is going on, the sooner it's found the better. Also...you may very well have a UTI and need medication for that. I've found over the years that the "not knowing" is the worst!
I'm always here for you if you need a friend. Please keep me updated, and take care of yourself.
Hugs,
Ingrid
Please see your doctor and find out what is going on. I do hope it is an
UTI.
Keeping you in my thoughts,
Congrats, too, on being a grandmother again in December,
Love and hugs
of coarse you are scared, and how you feel is very understandable Bev, but what it all comes down to is you do need to get in and get checked ASAP.. It may be nothing or it maybe something and you know this disease inside and out how fast it can turn into something much worse each day you wait.. One thing you know you have is good instincts and you will always carry the fear of this rotton cancer coming back, but please don't let this stop you from getting a check up right away.. You have good chances as this being a urinary infection or just some other infection so you need to make your health your # 1 priority here.. Even if it is back Bev, you know you have chances as to having surgery where ever it is and also become once again cancer-free but by waiting it could become to late and i don't know how you would get through this.. You need to turn the negative thinking into telling yourself i can do this and look at alot of the people here, including Tim, he is going on 5 years in Aug, this is a a true miracle for us.. The options that are out there today are endless with treating Kidney Cancer, so you must never think this is a death treat to you it isn't please beleive me Bev..
I know you are scared, hell i would feel just as you do, but it's time to get rid of the fears and make the next move.. I would never lie to you Bev, i know whatever happens you will be as strong as my Tim, as i have had to be in supporting him and so many others with this disease and thier spouses who support them completely..
You are a very important women in my life since day one, i love you with all my heart, please, please, seek out the medical attention you need.. You and only you can do this and i trust that you will get this attended to as soon as you can..
Please keep me updated Bev, you mean so much to me..
All my love, hope & faith are with you,
Love,
Becca
I am calling to reschedule my ct scan tomorrow morning. I think they will be able to get me in by the end of the week. Then I will go from there. Becca, you are SO right, and SO wise, as are you other two women who mean so much to me. I AM strong, and I WILL do whatever I need to do to tackle this.
I love you all, very much, and appreciate your support more than you know,
Bev

I began passing blood in my urine last night. I'm frightened, but trying hard to just leave it in the Lord's hands. HE is in control, and I have faith that whatever happens, HE will get us through it. I will keep you posted.
Thank you ALL, especially you, sweet, dear Becca, for your countless wonderful words of encouragment. You are all very special to me.
Bev
