Want to connect with kidney cancer patients

Posted by koke @koke, May 2, 2023

I have stage 4 kidney cancer. Taking target and immunotherapy drugs. Would love to connect with anyone who is going through the same process or has kidney cancer!

I'm newly diagnosed with ureter cancer. I'm having a radical nephrectomy May 15th. The procedure will be done with a robot.
Anyone else experienced with this?

Welcome, @dwitthuhn66. I encourage you to start a new discussion in the Kidney Cancer support group here: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/kidney-cancer/

I suggest a title like "Robotic Radical Nephrectomy: What can I expect?" or something similar.

I had robotic assisted partial nephrectomy in January.
Bad pathology but successful surgery and back to work in 3 weeks!
