I don't know if this is significant in cancer treatment, but I do have severe osteoporosis; also, severe shoulder pain and lack of movement from arthritis.

Your cancer team will take into consideration any existing conditions when suggesting treatment options. They should know about your having severe osteoporosis and some cancer treatments can effect bone health. This is true in hormone-related treatments that are commonly used for breast cancer and prostate cancer for example. I'm not sure if kidney cancer treatments effect bone health. It's a good question to ask.
