I was diagnosed with stage 4 renal cell carcinoma just about a year ago at the age of 20. It has metastasized to my bones and lungs. Man has it been a tough year to say the least. Keep fighting doc ❤️
How are you doing now?
Lookup Joe tippins, his blog is my cancer story rocks, he had cancer in all organs and spine he took fenbendazole in early 2017 and still cancer free today
A good friend of mine is in this situation so I was wondering how your treatment is going and how you are doing. Thank you.

All the best Toby, do you have some faith of some kind? I wish you the best! I was dignosed at 36. Don't give up ❤️
I was lucky enough to be diagnosed at a very early stage. After total nephrectomy I have bounced back to normal LIFE. Wishing you all good health
What stage were you?
56 here diagnosed a year ago with stage 4 renal cell carcinoma. Immunotherapy every 3 weeks/ chemo pill twice daily. Husband and father of 4. Two still at home.
I was diagnosed with kidney cancer in September. A minor pain in my abdomen which my doctor assumed it was appendicitis. The Ct was showing a mass. I’ve had a nephrectomy four weeks ago. My urologist has decided that I try immunotherapy for year. I’m very slim, fit always maintained a healthy diet. Been intermittent fasting for the past five years.
I hope you heal from this. 🙏
I just got hit with a 4 cm cancer tumor on my right kidney. August 9th 2023 they will remove the tumor or the whole kidney. Not sure yet they will do an upper chest x-ray July 24th to check for lung cancer. As of right now my kidney is only place I have cancer as far as I know. I've done 180-degree about-face on my diet. I hope everything goes good for me.
Hi
07/9/2022 I have done full nephrectomy for my right Kidney find RCC.. Later doctor suggested adjuvant immune therapy for one year. But my creatinen was 1.7 so I couldn't start the treatment..
At last I began the immune therapy from 30/9/2023 still my creatinen level is 1.7 . Tomorrow (21/10/2023) will be my second injection day. Expecting 15 times again. PET Scan is okay. Hopefully...

Hi. Just recently got diagnosed with renal cell carcinoma. Small tumor in kidney, lung, and mass in face. Totally terrified. Have anxiety disorder. Have not gotten treatment yet. Any tips on how to deal with the fear would be appreciated.
Good stuff, it is so important to share journeys if we have the capacity and confidence to do so. 👍
I'm also a physician (IM, PULM/CC, Sleep) and now have stage IV RCC, just finished a year of Keytruda following partial left pneumonectomy. My original diagnosis was 3B in 2015; I share your hope more treatments become available, but so far so good!
Look up Joe tippins, his blog is called my cancer story rocks, he has a face book group that cancer patients & care givers can join, early 2017 metastasized cancer in all organs, still cancer free today fenbendazole
i am 34 yr old with stage 4 rcc spread to lymphnodes on left side of neck with multiple nodes till retrocaval and 8 cm tumor in kidney. I am too on keytruda + axitinib, on 23rd sept was my first infusion, i am feeling a difference like slight increase in appetite. slight reduction in stomach ache and less fatigue . Lets beat it together, great hope to everyone.

Glad you are still kicking Doc! Maybe one day you will share your symptoms/story.
Hello how are you doing?
Mine is being watched. Ok at 1 cm. My next MRI is feb 2025. Sending you lots of❤
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Iam sorry that happen to you
I have been diagnosed with a Stage 3 Bosniak Cyst and if it turns to cancer I will have a lot of research to do. My thinking is if Chemo is too uncomfortable for me I need to look at alternatives like herbal medicine, intermittent fasting and giving up sugar which I have been told are ways of fighting kidney cancer.
How was it diagnosed..my mother was diagnosed with hypoechoic lesion with calcic specs of 1.2cms in her right kidney…is it something to worry about
Good luck
Fenbendazole and ivermectin wont be suggested to you by the medical fraternity but might save your life. Just look at other RUclips sites where they are discussed and the comments below those videos from the many people who tried them when conventional treatments had failed.
How much and how many?
@@schaysilva7800 I took 2x12mg ivermectin and 1x500mg fenbendazole a day for 2 months with no side effects. The following blood test was positive as the count had fallen by 30% when it was expected to rise. I'm now taking 1x ivermectin and 1x fenbendazole once a week until the next test.
Others with a much worse prognoses might take more of the ivermectin. Others take a regular break but I think the idea is to give it a good chance by taking a good dose initially and if that works then back off a bit.
Sweet Wormwood seems to be another one to be taken with them as acting on cancer cells too.
My mom is 93 years old and has kidney cancer because of her age they can't do a biopsy. 😢
so sorry to hear this. hold her close.
Did you get the jabs ?
cancer feeds on sugar.
Fenbendazole 440 mg daily dosage.
do you have kidney cancer? is this dewormer helping you? please update, im thinking about trying it out.
Did fenben help you? Please update
nobody will ever help me. Mother of 30 yr old with epilepsy for 15 years. I am so burned out.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💓💓💓💗❤️💚
I pray you get the help you need , bless you 🙏
Bless you look to Jesus🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I feel for you and I hope you get some support and are not dealing with this all alone. Look to God and prayers. All the best to you.
Ketogenic diet to both of you: it helps with seizures, and might help your cancer… good luck!
