Koke, which targeted therapy and immunotherapy drug are you taking? Did you have surgery?

Hi Colleen. My name is Paul. I was just diagnosed with renal cell carcinoma.. Surgery for removal of my right kidney and large attached tumor is slated for Aug23rd. I haven’t been told directly what stage I’m at, but thinking I’m at the tail end of stage three. Given my tumor is 18.cm in size, and the numerous cancer side effects Inhave going on? This is all new to me, and trying to stay positive and me informed as much as possible. The surgeon at Mayo Rochester was straight forward. Saying it didn’t look good. Guessing my age (67), and the length of time I’ve had it without knowing I had it? Any helpful tips for coping with possible side side effects, and body aches is extremely sore lower back would greatly be appreciated! Thank you!

Hi, thank you for your response. I am taking cabometyx and opdive. This is my 5th week and 2 IV’s. I was diagnosed with kidney cancer in September, kidney removed end of October and confirmed cancer spread in March. I’d really like to share stories with other kidney cancer patients. It has helped me!
