Had a kidney removed five and a half years ago. Contained a 10cm, slow growing tumor. Adrenal gland also removed. (Radical Nephrectomy?) All checks fine until June last year when the CT scan revealed a spot on my spleen,. Splenectomy in October and follow up CT Scan in January. Spleen showed renal cancer cells; CT scan revealed tumor on pelvis and spots on the liver.
Had Radiotherapy 3 weeks ago on the pelvis. No side effects.
Saw the Oncologist yesterday. Starting me on Sunitinib next Tuesday.
Anyone else with similar experience?

I'm sorry to read that after being clear of cancer for over 5 years a CT scan has revealed a tumour on your pelvis and spots on your liver.
