is there any hope when kidney cancer has moved into the lungs and back bone?

Metastatic disease that has reached end organs like bone and lung is a poor scenario for cancer in general.  Only an oncologist familiar with the case is qualified to give a legitimate prognosis.

I am so sorry to hear that.  I know what you are going through.  Both of my grandfathers died from cancer (lung) and there was nothing they could do about it.  As far as your nanna is concerned, it's only going to take time.  I don't know if you are religious or not, but sometimes just a prayer and hug is all it takes.  It's sweet that you are there with her and you really are  doing more than you realize.  I'm sure she appreciates it greatly.  It's not something that's easy and quick to get over.  Just sit by her and let her talk to you if she needs to.  You and your family have my greatest sympathy and prayers.

I have been there and done that.  I too had cancer on my back, and I waited to have it removed.  I guess I was waiting for it to go away or something.  I wish I had done something about it when it was still small, but on the other hand all cancers are not the bad kinds, but they do all grow and grow.  If left alone they will take over your body and that would be bad.  By the time I had it removed it ended up as a hole the size of a grapefruit in two places.  If I had waited any longer it would have grown around my spine and I would have been in real trouble.  I guess what I'm trying to tell you is; don't give it a chance to get a strong hold on you, and the longer you wait the worse it will be to get it all out.  They must cut, check, cut, check, and so on, until they have it all out.  This is a time consuming surgery, and it still could come back somewhere else even after you have it removed.  I just tank God I'm still alive, and I try to live each day as if it were my last day on earth.  Yeah, it made a different person out of me, but it is all for the better.  I now appreciate life, as I now know how fragile life is.  I hope this helps.  Good Luck!!!

I will pray for you.  You have my sympathy.  I have bone cancer, and it is terminal.  I focus on what I CAN do, each day.  Some days all I can do is lay in bed.  Other days, although rarely, I feel almost good. I believe we send messages to our bodies, subconsciously.  If we think the worst, the worst will happen.  I am a registered nurse, and even though I could easily look up every aspect of my disease, I choose not to.  Only God knows when our time is up.

My mom has been recently diagnosed and had surgery to remove her female organs. They found cervical and ovarian tumors. She begins chemo a week from Monday. She is 62. At the moment she is just as perky as ever, even considering surgery. She was painting and hanging fans just two days ago. LOL. I can tell you that if she goes down, she will go down swinging. :0) That is just my mom's way.

Yes, my husband was cured of bone cancer with no treatment.  The nurse even told him he was one of the very few that had medical proof that the good Lord healed him.

I don't know.\n\nI can tell you this:  Lung cancer has one of the worst prognosis there is.  If the patient is still alive in 5 years after commencing therapy, even if they have been in a coma and are not expected to reawaken, that is called a success story, as long as they are cancer free.  That is a fact.\n\nYou should look into Gerson therapy, Budwig therapy, alkaline diet, filtering both drinking and bath water, raw 100percent vegan diet, hyperthermia treatments.  At the very least, you should research what the Burzynski clinic has to offer.  They do free clinical trials, and take some types of medical insurance.  They are more conventional than the other therapies I mention, but without the terrible damage and life threatening sickness caused by chemotherapy.  (Chemotherapy itself may kill more people than cancer.  Not many people know that, but chem is very dangerous.)\n\nBurzynski clinic has real doctors and nurses, and I have read many good thing about them.  Please, if you do not look into the other things I mention, then at least look into what Burzynski clinic has to offer.  Here is a link:\nhttp://www.cancermed.com/\n\nMay the Lord bless you both, and may you both have a peaceful eternity.

Although it is hard to come to terms with what is going on at the moment you must keep in mind that your uncle will reach a place where most of us could only dream of being. My cousin whom was 22 just past away with CF which is a lung disease and i took it pretty bad.. but i knew that when he went it was gods plan to make him healthy and happy and not to suffer anymore here on earth. Also you will too one day meet up with him and be a family as you are now here on earth. Keep your chin up and be strong for him as he has gone though so much with his chemo and the pain. You will be able to say your last goodbyes and when you do you will feel a sence of calmness in you. I will pray for you and your family.

http://www.meddean.luc.edu/Lumen/meded/Radio/curriculum/Surgery/renal_cancer_list.htm  \n\nThis is a good link. Go to it. It's cancer. Renal cyst. If you have this you really need to read this. You can even simply type in Renal Calcified Mass in your tool bar and it will lead you to sites that say Renal Cancer.

I am in the early stages of cancer, at the last count i had Liver, Lung, Pelvic and Spinal Cancer. 12 months before i found out about this latest bout of this terrible disease i had Bowel Cancer which resulted in the removal of my lower bowel. There really wasn't time for me to have any feelings about the disease or for it to have any effect on my body, as i got rid of it pretty quick. I now have to wear a bag for the rest of my life (which, according to the Doctors, will be around two years). \nIn regards to this latest cancer, as i said, i am in the early stages, but i am noticing that my hair is starting to fall out due to the chemo, but that is all. When people that know me see me in the street, they comment about how well i look, but i am sure that will change as the disease takes control of my immune system and totally runs rampant through my body.

Not currently, however there are treatments and preventative measures. \n\nA cure means you will be completely absolved of the problem forever.  \n\nA treatment is a management. Like chemo can rid a person of cancer for awhile but there's still a chance it will come back. \n\nCancer happens on a cellular level so it's going to be a tough one to find a 'cure' for.  \n\n(Quoted)\nCancer can be treated by surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy or other methods. The choice of therapy depends upon the location and grade of the tumor and the stage of the disease, as well as the general state of the patient (performance status). A number of experimental cancer treatments are also under development.\n\nComplete removal of the cancer without damage to the rest of the body is the goal of treatment. Sometimes this can be accomplished by surgery, but the propensity of cancers to invade adjacent tissue or to spread to distant sites by microscopic metastasis often limits its effectiveness. The effectiveness of chemotherapy is often limited by toxicity to other tissues in the body. Radiation can also cause damage to normal tissue.\n\nBecause "cancer" refers to a class of diseases, it is unlikely that there will ever be a single "cure for cancer" any more than there will be a single treatment for all infectious diseases

I am an alternative medicinal therapist and an ex nurse and i can tell you that you DO have stones. Pain in the back is a common sign and so is blood in the urine. Stop worrying you don't have cancer. They can either dissolve them by sound waves or by tablets and they may remove them by an op(but they don't like to do this unless is becomes life threatening) You will get terrible pain if they try to leave the kidneys, so be prepared.If this happens get to the E R.\n\nGloria(BSYA)\ngloriashealth@btinternet.com

Honey, I am sooo sorry for you! My uncle had pancreatic cancer and I'm sorry but he died from it shortly after he was diagnosed (about 8 months). He went from a big (6'4") strong guy to one that couldn't move out of bed. He was in his 50's though. Hopefully since your boyfriend is younger and they caught it (in stage 1 or 2 I hope?) he will be able to fight it and win!\n\nI wish you the best of luck sweetie!

Scared, anxiety, numbness,depression, self loathing, nausea, angry, turmoil -  I could go on.  Then depending on the person you start dealing with the situation.  Whether your the suffer or looking after someone with cancer.  My son developed a Wilms tumour when he was 3.  It developed over to the liver, up the vena cava and then attached its self to the right atrium of the heart.  He's not totally clear of it, and will be under oncology supervision for the rest of his life, because he most likely to suffer another type of cancer in later life.  Then their the after effects of the chemotherapy. He's had problems with walking which hes seeing a physiotherapist.\n\nI hope you never have to experience someone you love suffering from cancer.
