@gangcarotid1 they removed the kidney and adrenal gland and the pathology showed negative margins. The Keytruda was recommended to boost my immune system to fight off any stray cancer cells.
My severe adverse reaction to Keytruda including other immunology drugs probably means I will stop immunology and pray!
I’ve changed my diet to keep my other kidney healthy.

I had 10% of left kidney removed (1 large, 1 small tumor) at Mayo Rochester, Oct. 2024. So grateful to Dr Sharma. I have strongly committed to following a healthy diet, and am eating for my labs. A 1.3 cm cyst was seen on the right kidney last year, which they've been watching; 3 mos ago, they said it is now suspicious for neoplasm and will evaluate at next visit. Since my labs have remained near perfect w no symptoms, I've been allowed to have every-6-months visits instead of 3 mos. So March/April 2026 they'll look again a nodule was discovered in my right lung 3 mos after kidney surgery last yr, which theyre also watching; it has remained unchanged. I have never had to have any immunotherapy, chemo, or radiation or ablation. So, was curious. Thanks.
