Just diagnosed with stage 4 kidney cancer: What treatments help?

My doctor has recommended immunotherapy and then removal of the mass.

I live in Alaska so not close to any medical facilities. My doctor did graduate or attend the Cleveland clinic though. I am a disabled vet, so my medical is covered by the VA

Having lots of trouble sleeping now, only 3 to 4 hours a night.

would like to know what to expect with the immunotherapy, side effects, how well did it work? Where you able to work?

Hi again Ron. If your doctor has a connection to Cleveland Clinic he/she will have access to and be willing to work with their experts in kidney cancer for consultation. I had my surgery at the Cleveland Clinic and also consulted with an oncologist there who specializes in kidney cancer.

Did you have your appointment this week?
