nf: right...

usual reminder:

none of you is old

sev: I'll certainty try to

ka: probably as much sense as anything else

ff: ring old????????

what did you mean, as that makes no sense

ff: no problem

however, in 10 years I'll be 73...

also, in case anyone was wondering, I am not afraid of death

ff: about a year ago my ankle gave out once in awhile for no reason, thus I mentioned it to my podiatrist who I see regularly for routine maintenance and due to having diabetes. he refered me to a neurologist for testing, who did a few tests. he retired and refered me to someone else who ordered a spinal scan. I have a few neurological problems due to a brain disease I had at age 6 months (probable smallpox vaccine re-action). I am disabled as a result. regardless, he saw some masses on my kidneys at the periphery of the imsge. so, round 2 with a more specific scan, which confirmed what he saw. he then refered me to a urologist, whom I see yearly for prostate exams. the latter immediately diagnosed cancer. this was within 2-3 minutes after viewing the images. that doctor refered me to an oncologist who re-verified the diagnosis and maintained that surgery was my only option.

so, from a routine complaint to a major problem found as a result...

I would like to thank everyone for your support

I will post updates, if there is interest

ul: platelets seem normal. at least I have not been told otherwise. I have had sevaral blood draws over the past few years for a variety of reasons, thus am reasonably comfortable with that

as for waking up after, agreed

es: that's good to know (re size and recovery)

thank-you

sa: do what?

please clarify

if you mean the surgery. there is no question of that

ul: the primary complication is excessive and uncontrolable bleeding during surgery. hence the non-zero risks of organ loss and death

as for living with one kidney, that is indeed doable

ff: the hope is that the cancer can be removed and not the whole kidney. however, if the tumor is larger than what the scan shows, or other complications, the kidney will be removed. the odds of full removal are extremely small.

being curious about this is fine.

I will also try to answer any other questions anyone has

rp: it is what it is. I'm not worried about it

as for being positive, I am

I'm also realistic

thank-you all

however, I am not old...

I was recently diagnosed with kidney cancer and will be having surgery the end of jan.

however, there is a very small chance I won't survive the operation

none of you is old

nf: oh... it's quite possible
