    I was lucky enough to be diagnosed at a very early stage. After total nephrectomy I have bounced back to normal LIFE. Wishing you all good health

    I was diagnosed with stage 4 renal cell carcinoma just about a year ago at the age of 20. It has metastasized to my bones and lungs. Man has it been a tough year to say the least. Keep fighting doc ❤️

    I just got hit with a 4 cm cancer tumor on my right kidney. August 9th 2023 they will remove the tumor or the whole kidney. Not sure yet they will do an upper chest x-ray July 24th to check for lung cancer. As of right now my kidney is only place I have cancer as far as I know. I've done 180-degree about-face on my diet. I hope everything goes good for me.

      Hi
      07/9/2022 I have done full nephrectomy for my right Kidney find RCC.. Later doctor suggested adjuvant immune therapy for one year. But my creatinen was 1.7 so I couldn't start the treatment..
      At last I began the immune therapy from 30/9/2023 still my creatinen level is 1.7 . Tomorrow (21/10/2023) will be my second injection day. Expecting 15 times again. PET Scan is okay. Hopefully...

    I was diagnosed with kidney cancer in September. A minor pain in my abdomen which my doctor assumed it was appendicitis. The Ct was showing a mass. I’ve had a nephrectomy four weeks ago. My urologist has decided that I try immunotherapy for year. I’m very slim, fit always maintained a healthy diet. Been intermittent fasting for the past five years.

    Fenbendazole and ivermectin wont be suggested to you by the medical fraternity but might save your life. Just look at other CZcams sites where they are discussed and the comments below those videos from the many people who tried them when conventional treatments had failed.
