Stage 4 Right kidney removed plus 7 lymph nodes. Small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma , which is very aggressive. Left kidney is very small and only at 15%. Now it’s back at the surgical site plus metastases to my brain. Getting a port on Monday and 2 chemo plus immunotherapy. I can’t believe it!

This sounds incredibly overwhelming, and it's completely understandable to feel shocked by these developments. Many in this community have faced similar challenges with aggressive forms of kidney cancer and understand how difficult it can be when treatment plans need to intensify. Starting combination therapy can feel daunting, but connecting with others here who have walked similar paths might provide some comfort and practical insights as you navigate this next phase of your journey.
