Hi
i was diagnosed in September with rcc which has spread to the bones. I have had 4 sessions of immunotherapy and am having first scan since diagnosed in February to see if my tumours have shrunk. I have 3 tumours, main in kidney is 7cm, one in bones at top off leg is 4cm and one in bone on the shoulder of 3.5cm. Hoping to see these have shrunk in February. I have been reading the posts on this site since January and have found it very helpful. Just wondering if there is anyone out there in a similar position to me?
Regards
Rose xx
