Kidney cancer

Hi all 

New to all of this, I was diagnosed with cancer in January and was operated on with the hospital thinking it was sarcoma, as it turns out it's terminal kidney cancer that has spread widely throughout the body (the doctors' words not mine). I had my first lot of chemotherapy two weeks ago and I feel awful, my heads on fire and my hands and feet are frozen, not to mention the constant itching and the isolation and boredom.

Well, that's my brief introduction, hope you are all getting through this as best as you can.
