Hi, just curious how old people are. I’m 39 and will be having nephrectomy on Wednesday.
Hey SiFitz
I am 59 as well. My kidney tumor was found 9 yrs ago. I got my scans and xrays like I was supposed to. Then 32 months ago (may of 22). I had a pain in my chest that got worse until I could not sit up without help. Since then we have discovered the disease has progressed to my upper right lung, lower left lung, sternum, rib, spine, and some lymph node activity. This week my Immino therapy has been giving me trouble and they had to reschedule the treatment. This is my second line of defense. Maybe time to change to a new treatment. Treatment have slowed the growth until now. I did have one spot on my hip bone that they used radiation on. It was growing pretty fast. Good luck
