A few thoughts about kidney cancer that will be important to remember. The first is that kidney cancer, especially once it has metastasized can return to three areas of the body: the lungs, the bones or the brain. It may start in the small tubes in the lining of the kidney, but once free in the body it will return to these areas, primarily. In fact, I have just become aware of someone who had a kidney devoured by the disease but that the cancer had also already spread into his bones, making them weak and brittle. In my case, the cancer has returned to a lymph node in my chest just between my lungs. So, while it is known as kidney cancer, or renal cancer, it can be found in other areas of the body beside the kidney.

I have been silently observing your journey, checking in now and then. Over the years and at times your voice changes ...rage, hope, determination, anger, relief, courage...but always grace. For many with cancer there is not "you survived cancer" there is only a moment of stasis. I will be going on 5 years in December, this is what I wrote in 2012 before one of my many treatments.
