I'm sorry for your diagnosis. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2019. Things seemed to move along very quickly. In April, 2025 I was diagnosed with kidney cancer. This time it seems all I do is sit around and wait. I just had surgery October 6 to remove the cancer. I voiced my concern many times  that I felt things were moving too slowly and I was concerned about the cancer spreading. I don't think doctors realize the anxiety their patients have when the get a cancer diagnosis, which is a shame. I wish you the best of luck. Keep us posted please. ... View more

I was recently diagnosed with renal cell carcinoma. I battled breast cancer in 2020 and won that battle. I'm not so sure about this battle though ... Much more anxiety this time. I'm having surgery October 6 to remove my kidney.   Please relax and let others do what they can for you. You need your strength to battle this ugly monster.    I wish you the best. You, and everyone else battling this horrible disease are in my prayers.   Christine  ... View more

First let me say I'm sorry you are going through this. I was diagnosed with Invasive Ductile Carcinoma in 2020 (I was 54 years old). It was diagnosed after having a routine mammogram ... I had zero symptoms, so the diagnosis really threw me for a loop. It had also spread to my lymph nodes. I opted to have a lumpectomy, followed by 8 chemo treatments and 8 weeks of radiation. I am happy to say there has been no sign of cancer since.    That is until 6 months ago. I have now been diagnosed with renal cell carcinoma. I am having surgery October 6 to remove my kidney. For some reason, this time I am much more terrified than when I had breast cancer.    I hope your healing journey gets easier. Please take care and know you have many people rooting for you.   Christine  ... View more
