Hello Milkey
I am Brian, one of the Community Champions here on the online Community. I have just noticed your post has gone unanswered. I can't answer it myself as I have a different cancer, however by me replying your post will be "Bumped up" to the top of the page and I hope seen and answered by other members of the kidney cancer group.
All I can suggest is that every time an new infection comes on you contact your GP for advice and treatment.
Best wishes - brian.
