Rich - I don't know you at all but saw your post.
Nine years ago I had a huge kidney cancer tumor removed, the tumor weighed 10 lbs. and was as big as a football, no exaggeration.
I am still around. No sign of recurrence of kidney cancer.
My surgeon who supervises my recovery had told me that he never expected to see me around this long.
A year ago I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer, totally unrelated to my kidney cancer. My kidney cancer surgeon caught it.
I am still around with no sign of recurrence and apparently my body is totally clear of any signs of thyroid cancer.
It is difficult but keeping a positive outlook can only help you.
Stay strong, lean on your family, let them be there for you.
I also strongly suggest that if you have a Cancer Care location that you can get to, then you should use that organization. I was in group sessions when I had my kidney cancer and one on one sessions when I had my thyroid cancer. There is no charge for anything they do for you. If you need financial assistance they will help also. Fortunately I have great insurance and did not need financial aid but it is there if you need it.
Stay strong, stay tough.
