I have RCC. The cancer spread and I had a lymph node attached in between my lungs. When they biopsied, results were negative. The location of lymph node made it difficult to get good biopsy. Three months later, scan showed lymph node had grown. I started cabometyx and opdivo IV. Three months later, scan showed lymph node had shrunk. Still taking both meds and will get tested again in September. I pray for all of us!
Scared is ok to feel. What we have is scary. What does ‘tree in bud’ mean? I read all of our experiences and realize how individualized this cancer is for each of us. I guess I’m going down this path expecting anything can change daily.

From my understanding tree-in-bud means a cluster of nodules. I had the nephrectomy and the year of treatment and now I wait for the monster to show itself again. How are the side-effects from your treatment? I was on Lenvima before my nephrectomy and I barely made it through the few weeks I was on it, the side-effects were so intolerable.
