I was recently diagnosed with kidney cancer of the left kidney as well as the lymph nodes around the kidney. I have a biopsy on an enlarged lymph node on the right side near the right kidney to determine if the the RCC has spread or if it is non Hodgkin lymphoma or if any luck is on my side it is nothing. Well if it is nothing then they will schedule me for surgery to remove the kidney and lymph nodes on the left side and then hopefully nothing more. If it has spread then I will have to undergo systemic whole body treatment then have the kidney and lymph nodes removed. All I know is that I want this all to be over an to never have to deal with it again. I had cervical cancer back in 2003 and had to have a partial hysterectomy so this doesn’t really scare me the only thing that scares me is the unknown and dying. I have kids I want to see get married and I have grandkids that I want to also see grow up and graduate and get married and have kids. I want to travel more. I want to live.
