Hi, my name is teresa and this is my first blog , my lovely husband "errol" was diagnosed in feb 2010 with kidney cancer, and has secondary mets in lung, liver, and pelvis, what a shock, he had complained of pain in his leg in January but being very fit and healthy thought he had pulled a muscle training,,, after doctor visits and physio and acupuncture and then x ray and still no improvement he was referred to see orthopedic surgeon, but pain got so bad before our appointment i called a ambulance , That's when we were told that it was prob cancer and the tumour was so large that they were shocked that errols leg had not broke, , so one week later with rods and pins in place we came home to get our head around the news,, errol started stutent in march after two weeks became very poorly with the side effect so was admitted to hospital ( had us all very worried ) but after three weeks in home again, errol has had two lots of radiotherapy for pain relief and now is on his third dose of stutent, so in august we are hoping for a comparison x ray to be good ,
