Can I ask how old you are? and I will let you know. My appointment is at 2pm central time. I go to Minnesota Oncology together with the Mayo Clinic Rochester MN.

You are in good hands at Mayo. I am late to the party here as I had a huge buildup of notifications and time is unstable for me at the moment.
Geez, whatever happened to a phone call from the doctor? I cannot speak to your kidney issues, but I can certainly feel your pain with the breast cancer. I am glad Ginger is here, she is my friend who is tough enough or fight both cancer and kidney disease.
Are you in active treatment for breast cancer? Is this a new diagnosis on top of the kidneys?

@kbirk I am a young 68 yrs old. Formally diagnosed with this ultra-rare kidney disease in Jan 2015. For years they attributed my symptoms to my systemic lupus, when it probably was this kidney issue.

You are in great hands at Mayo Clinic!
