My step dad had cancer on his kidney they froze the top half of kidney any he has not had any show up since then hope this helps a little

[topshot]

Praying for you to be led by the spirit of God, in peace and comfort, in every decision made from here on. God is good and sent his Jesus to bring life, not death, comfort for mourning and a spirit of gladness for those who are heavy-hearted. stand in faith, knowing that God is always good and the battle is a spiritual battle as much as it is a physical battle. May you and your wife hear the voice of the Holy Spirit clearly and be led by him only. Blessings on you!

I have known of several folks who had kidney cancer. If I remember correctly every one of them kicked it. My dad was one of them. He had one kidney & part of the other removed. He lived another 20+ years, all without any more cancer. And this was back in the 80s. Advancements in the war on cancer have brought even more success stories. You, your wife and all involved will be in my my prayers.

Well, good news and bad news.

The good, we have plenty of time. There is no sign it has spread, and the doc's are confident it won't spread.
The surgeon said give him 3-4 weeks to develop a plan, and schedule the surgery. He will have to request a special tool for the robot,,, which leads to the bad news.


The location of the tumor, is on the posterior side, and very close to the main artery of the right kidney. He said it is a very challenging surgery, but he possibly could go in from the back.

Worst case, if he can't do it robotic, he would have to open her up, and remove entire kidney.

He has only done 2 like this, and was successful on only 1. He is going to consult with a couple of his peers, and develop a plan.

So, we are back to hurry up and wait. ... Which sux.

Prayers added for you, your wife and family Buckshot.
