I understand your concern about recurrance. I also worry about it, but am now very encouraged that treatments are available and seem to work well. After partial removal of right kidney, my kidney functions are working normally now.
And although the side affects were rough during chemo and radiation for esophageal cancer, I survived at age 78 and am felling well now. I hope you can encourage you father to look for brighter future after treatment. I hope your visit with urologist goes well, and you can learn what the recommended plan is and feel comfortable with it. I'll be interested to hear what you learn?

My father is hopeful, or it seems that way. My oldest sister is the issue. She thinks as if there is no chance, and that affects us. Of course she pretends everything is normal when my father around us, but... Hope she will be hopeful, too because we all need it.
