Good Evening,
My name is Doug and I too was just diagnosed with RCC. They will “stage” your cancer and determine from that staging what they will do. Some of those on this web site have had biopsies to determine the cancer. I have not had a biopsy. They told me my course of treatment is a partial nephrectomy. I am currently seeking a second opinion. The reason for my second opinion is to see if I lik e the next surgeon better than the first. No question should go unanswered. No question is less valuable than another. They’re amazing people who are part of this support group. All willing to help and support. We are all on this journey. Blessings.
