Hi. I am now 74 years old and was 67 when cancer came to visit. Cleveland Clinic, after the surgery and the follow-up problems, has had me on Opdivo and Cabometryx for the last 2 plus years and the cancer continues to shrink.
After the kidney surgery, renal cancer cells migrated to my lungs and then to my spleen and pancreas, so that is where the emphasis is now.
Cancer never sleeps so that is something to be aware of.
I was about 250 and lost 60 lbs during the surgery and the after-effects, and am around 215-220, which is a better weight for me.
Sounds like you are on your way, but beware and fight to continue your treatment as long possible, to ensure that all cancer cells that are hiding are impacted...
