Just diagnosed with stage 4 kidney cancer: What treatments help?
At 67 I was just diagnosed with stage 4 kidney cancer. The doctor had me take a CT scan for another issues and accidentally found a large mass on my kidney. 3 limp nodes, and tumors on my lungs.
Not sure what to do at this point.
Feel like i have to keep working to make sure my wife gets my life insurance.
Any suggestions for treatments, diet, anything you might have found that helps.
Thanks Ron

Hi Ron. In addition to this group there are two others, maybe more, that may be helpful: Our Journey with Stage IV Kidney Cancer and Smart Patients.com (chose kidney cancer as your topic).

2 ReactionsMy heart goes out to you, Ron. My kidney cancer was also found incidental to a CT for something else. Also found, at the same time, was a lung cancer. I'm old enough to be your father, but it was still overwhelming for me. It is scary, to say the least. I started keeping a journal, and that helped me emotionally. You probably have good physicians on your side and you will overcome this blip in your life. Hang in there and know that folks you don't even know are in your corner.
