Hi, I’ve had RCC in both kidneys, just not at the same time. First time was in 2006 which resulted in surgery to remove the kidney. Then a met in one lung in 2009 which was another surgery to remove lower lobe. Last kidney had developed a tumor last year and was treated with cryoablation, saved 75% of the kidney. It’s been working fine ever since. I am feeling great and doing anything I want to at age 65! Hopefully you’ll get the best treatment for you and will do great! I’m wishing you well!

It's not being fretted over, it's the people that have to take care of someone. I've been in both shoes, and taking care of someone can turn into a situation that you don't even think about.... because of the worry over another. Your life suddenly belongs to someone else, and we tend to put ourselves on the back burner. I myself don't ever want to become a burden for anyone!
