Hi - I’m 42 - RCC discovered in Feb completely by accident from a non related scan. Life has been turned upside down side down and inside out since. Had a partial nephrectomy at the end of April. Very successful op but has taken a lot out of me. 8 weeks post op and only getting back to normal energy levels this week. Bad news last week - Histology shows that the cancer is pHA1 which is good but it’s aggressive - rated 3 (out of 4). I’ve been referred to an Oncologist now and there are talks of Immunotherapy. Got the predictor back from Urologist and it’s saying a 35% of reoccurrence in the next 10 years! Crazy stuff - I’ve two small kids and my wife and I now have a genuine concern for my longevity. Very hard to get my head around all this - work commitments are now getting back to pre-op levels and I’m finding it hard. Don’t really know what I’m asking here but would be nice to talk to someone in a similar circumstance. Thanks.
