Hi there Vicki, welcome to the forum but sorry for the reason you are here. I don't know anything about kidney cancer, but thought I would respond to your post as I see no one has replied as yet. With my response, your initial post will be bumped to the first page so hopefully, someone will see it who can relate to your situation. Another thing that you could do is post in the category, "Ask the nurses" and perhaps they can shed some light on this for you. They are also available by phone at the number at the bottom of this page during regular business hours.

Good luck with the challenges you face and I hope you receive a response soon.

Take care

Lorraine
