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?

We had our first meeting Thursday. He did say that he had a collage in the lower 48 that was an expert in Kidney cancer and was going to use him as a consultant if I was ok with that.

My wife and I really lie him and the team that he has set up to work with me.

I met him Thursday and he scheduled a brain CT scan for the next day. I was surprised that he could get it scheduled so fast. The hospital called me Friday morning and said it would be a week, and my wife called the doctor, and they said that was ridicules and called the hospital, an hour later I was at the hospital getting my CT scan!

He doesn't want to start treatment until he gets the results of the brain scan, he said that would help him decide what treat he would need to go with.

I am hoping that it hasn't spread to the brain already.
