Hi, I was hoping for some advice on advanced kidney cancer now in the bones and treatment. Everything on the internet is very hit and miss. Some say there is good treatment but not curable others say there is no hope. Hoping to get some advise pls
A very warm welcome to Cancer Chat. You are right to take everything you read on the internet with a pinch of salt. As you rightly say, it can be very hit and miss. It's always best to try and stick to reliable and authoritative sources and I thought I would share with you the information we have on our website on advanced kidney cancer. It will tell you what advanced kidney cancer is and where it can spread to and what treatment for advanced cancer is available. There is also a section on targeted and immunotherapy drugs for advanced kidney cancer as well as helpful information on coping with advanced kidney cancer. It mentions that "some treatments can control advanced kidney cancer for a time and reduce symptoms". Obviously every case is different and treatment will be targeted to your particular situation and if you would like to discuss things further with one of our cancer nurses, feel free to get in touch with them on this free number 0808 800 4040 - their line is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm. They will be very happy to talk things through with you and answer any question you might have.
I hope this helps a little and that you will also hear from the experiences of others on our forum who have been affected by advanced kidney cancer.
