I am a person living with Renal Cell Carcinoma. I am female, and was diagnosed with papillary RCCA in 2011 when I was 20. And my family had no history of kidney disease. My kidney was taken out and I was in remission until 2018, when a couple of nodules appeared in my lungs. I had VATS metastasectomy then. But it metastasised again in 2021 in my lungs still, and had another VATS procedure. Then my 2022 scans showed that another nodule is growing in my lung. Now I am undergoing targeted therapy with Pazopanib with hopes that this cancer will finally disappear in a couple of years.
I was diagnosed with kidney cancer in the left kidney in November 2024... They removed part of the kidney and in June 2024 I have to have a scan to check whether there is any new cancer I am 47 jear old
Just a note to 4 stages described in the video: as I found out the tumor may metastasize well before reaching 7cm, that's go from stage 1 directly to 3. I was able to stop growth of my PRCC without treatment at 5.9cm (strict diet, starving, lots of walking) and yet 2 NYC oncologists told me the damn thing can still metastasize and scan me every 3 months.
I had a kidney taken out five years ago with a large tumor. I was given a CT scan every six months, now "surprise" it's back with a vengeance. They say I have one year at most. The tumors make it impossible to sleep. Morphine doesn't help much for the pain.
I lost my husband on Dec 21 , 2022 coz of this RCC such a cruel cancer took my beloved husband he was just 35 everything went off, doctor said just 6 months left, but me and my husband had faith in God, but he left us. He was diagnosed on 27 of June 2022 . Everything came to an end on December. Exactly 6 months. I pray to God who ever undergoing this be strong and fight till the end. Life is not easy as we think. Myself and my 10 year old boy is all alone. 💔 Love u Rafeeq. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Proud to be ur wife.
@rubennunez5269 I’m really sorry to hear you’re going through this-it’s completely understandable to feel scared after a diagnosis like renal carcinoma and surgery. It sounds like you’ve already taken a big step by having the affected kidney removed, and that’s an important part of treatment. Chromophobe renal carcinoma typically has a better prognosis than other types, and many people do well after treatment. It’s key to follow up with your doctors for regular check-ups and scans to monitor your recovery and ensure everything is healing as it should. Feeling anxious is normal, but reaching out for support from loved ones, a counselor, or a support group can help you cope with these emotions. You’re not alone in this, and it’s okay to lean on others for strength.
I'm very sorry to hear about your father’s condition. It might be helpful to discuss all possible palliative care options with his healthcare team to ensure his comfort and quality of life.
My son who is thirty seven was recently diagnosed with kidney cancer. The tumor is 2.5 cm. He had blood clots in his lungs but no sign of cancer elsewhere. He’s having a partial nephrectomy next month. They said nodules in lungs were not particularly suspicious. Is stage 1 kidney cancer curable at all? Or does it just extend life expectancy somewhat?
I'm having partial nephrectomy April 17, it's 4 cm and growing from inside the middle of my kidney. Really nervous about metastasis regardless their using robotics in this procedure.
Metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) that has spread to the lungs is challenging to treat, but it's not necessarily incurable. Treatment options such as targeted therapies, immunotherapies, and surgery to remove lung metastases can help control the disease and manage symptoms. While a complete cure may be difficult, advancements in treatment have improved the outlook for many patients, with a focus on extending life and enhancing its quality. Consulting with an oncologist is essential to determine the best course of action based on individual circumstances.

Have any treatments helped. My brother in law was recently diagnosed at stage 4
Does it start as a cancerous tumor or can it start as a kidney cyst
Mine started as a simple cyst
