Not metastatic. Just one of 4 cancers I am dealing with. Cryo was my choice. The other doctors wanted complete removal. I have stage 3 Chronic kidney disease and the removal of one kidney would have hastened my journey to dialysis. Other cancers are prostate, skin and breast. Breast is scheduled for surgery soon.

@deebee41, I understand your treatment choice of cryoablation in light of your chronic kidney disease. Unfortunately, having one cancer doesn't automatically mean you get a pass on other cancers. @dsh33782 knows this well too. He was diagnosed with kidney cancer after esophageal cancer and then thyroid cancer.

Deebee, you may wish to connect with other men with breast cancer experience in these related discussions in the breast cancer support group:

Will you require any further treatment for kidney cancer?
