Unhappy Please Read/KIDNEY CANCER

My husband has kidney cancer. He has had 4 surgeries to remove parts where the cancer was. He would be 2 years cancer free July 7. He just had surgery for a broke hip and they found the cancer in his bones. What now? Has anyone had someone with this. I am not stupid to not realize this is more than serious. If this is the final stage I need to know what to expect. I need to know.

Re: Please Read/KIDNEY CANCER

Brighterday,

We have not heard from you for a long time. I thought your husband was cancer free and completely recovered from the disease after four time of surgeries. I am very sorry to hear the devil is in your husband's bones now. I am sad and am crying why this Kidney Cancer has no medicines for cure. God bless your husband. Be strong !

William

Smile Re: Please Read/KIDNEY CANCER

I can not believe you remember us! I came into work feeling so down and when I read this from you I felt like you reached out and gave me a hug. Just knowing someone cares helps.Thank you so much!
Yes he would be cancer free 2 years July 7. He began hurting in his hip. They found after a few months that it was broke. They went in to fix it and found the cancer in his bone. We are to go to the cancer center in a local town to see about some experimental meds.His spirit is up and I am glad. I have been a little depressed. I asked his Doctor if this was bad. I just wanted (needed) a simple answer. He told me that I could get on the boat of denial with my husband or I could give up and let him die. I was mortified!
Why do they not see that the caregivers have a hard time dealing too?
How are you and your family? I hope all is well.Thanks so much again!

Thumbs up Re: Please Read/KIDNEY CANCER

was reading some post about kidney cancer and decided instead of being so depressed to try and help someonelse. If you or a love one has kidney cancer I can tell you to find a doctor who believes in surgery to remove the cancer. Kidney cancer is known(info from our great doctor) to go from the kidney, to the lung, the liver, the brain and then the bones. My husband's cancer went from the kidney,to the lungs, adrenal glands(which was probably part of the kidney problem, then to the bones. He skipped the liver and brain(they will be checking now). When it is in an organ the best way to rid of it is to do surgery. That is what our Doctor did and my husband has lived longer(we were told) than others who did not do surgery.
They took out what they could from the bone. It is a new mountain but we have to find another trail.
I have had thyroid cancer so what I am about to share with you is not from someone who does not know the FEAR from both sides. I want to share with you that a positive attitude is a MUST! My husband is amazing people! He has his days but overall I have watched him and he has such determination to beat this, it makes me feel shame in my worrying at times.
He had hip surgery on a Saturday to place a steel rod in his femur bone. He got back to the room at 3:00pm and he was walking to the nurses station holding on to a wheelchair by 5:00pm!POSITIVE! We watched Joel Osteem on television and he said you can choose to be positive or negative.We can take this cancer (any type) and take into our minds all the negative aspects of this diease or we can take in all of the positive(as hard as it may be sometimes) and dig to find the positive aspects and LIVE our days to the fullest!
Please if anyone has any questions about kidney cancer and I can help feel free to ask. You may be a caretaker and feel the weight of the world on your shoulders! I will be glad to try to lift you up. By lifting you ...I lift!

Re: Please Read/KIDNEY CANCER

Hi everyone,

I have a question because I have been looking for a similar page. Here it goes: My dad had a tumor (I believe, or cancer....or is it all the same) about 5 years ago or so in his kidney, and had to have the kidney removed. Now, he is cancer free (although he had prostate cancer a few years ago and removed successfully) and I am wondering if that is what everyone is talking about. To the orinial poster of this topic, was his kidney completely removed and it returned? Does it return? Does my dad have a good chance since the kidney was completely removed.
Thanks.
