Hey there

Hi there. I am new here. My mom who is 66 was just diagnosed with terminal kidney cancer. She is healthy and active. She had not been feeling well for a while and is a bit short of breath. They found a tumor in her vagina. She went for a biopsy at the hospital the other day and it turns out our simple five minute biopsy turned into a nightmare. We found out she has a 20cm tumor on her kidney. With a blood clot. The cancer has spread to her lungs, liver, vagina and near other areas. Her GFR is 26. They told her she will start treatment soon. They gave her a 1-2 years to live. I am devastated.
