Prayers to your BIL Sisterlucy !! I hope that your BIL gets started on some form of chemo. There is much more to offer now then say 5 years ago.
My father has been dealing with kidney cancer (RCC) since 2005 and he is stage 4. He also had his right kidney removed.
He has been on sutent since 06 and it is now holding him stable. Please if you have any questions please ask there are others here besides myself that can help.
Again prayers to you and the family.
