Hi everyone

my wife has just been diagnosed with RCC intermediate stage. Apparently, that's half way between stages 3 and 4. The cancer has spread outside her left kidney towards her lung and adrenal gland. It sounds very bad, but we live in hope. She has just started a course of Ipilimumab and nivolumab which we have been told is the gold standard  treatment, which it seems to be. 

Naturally, we're both in the dark, and frightened of the likely consequences of her diagnosis and just looking for hopeful replies from those who have a similar plan of treatment.

Many Thanks, Ronald

  • I too have kidney cancer. I feel very alone and have been messed about something chronic by the admin staff at my local hospital. The one thing this has taught me is to be pushy.If you ate worried don't stay quite.contact the hospital, go to PALS or whatever else you need to do.Thetehas been a significant impact on my mental health and the delays are very unfair. 

  • Stay positive and try to stay strong xx
