I had my left kidney and some lymph nodes removed in July. Others tests thus far are all clear. It has been a shock and a worry for everyone. I have further check ups in October. Of course we wonder if I'll be in the clear. We're getting on with life. That's the way it is. Cancer is a worrying disease because of all the unknowns and that's what is hard to grasp. I'm a positive person and that helps. I'd be happy to talk with anyone who needs to chat.
