I was diagnosed last November with RCC, had my right kidney removed. A follow-up CT scan showed tumors on both lungs and in shoulder muscle. I did 3 months of immunotherapy using yervoy and opdivo. The next 3 months was a double dose on opdivo. Latest CT scan showed that tumors had increased in size and a new growth on my remaining kidney. So started on the chemo pill. So hopefully this will slow the progression.

Thank you for sharing. My cancer has spread to a lymph node in between lungs. I have been taking daily target drug (cabometyx) and an IV immunotherapy drug every 4 weeks. Scans scheduled for next week to see what cancer has done? I didn’t think cancer could go to other kidney? I live very much day by day and try to enjoy life each day! It’s hard some days when I don’t feel great. The drugs have slowed me down, make me tired, changed my voice, constant cough and harder breathing. Every day I wonder how I feel but keep praying these drugs are getting rid of the cancer!
Enjoy your day. It helps a lot to share with people who live with KC too . Thank you!
