Don,
I'm so sorry to hear that. I'll be praying for your son.  My father had cancer in his kidney when he was in his '50s.  One kidney was removed, he had a series of treatments and recovered completely.

I had a similar situation six or eight years ago.  Life with one kidney is just like life with two kidneys.  It's freaky Donny, but hang in there.

Don,
   My brother had one kidney removed years ago...cancer has never returned. Then during a heart ultrasound a few years ago I found out that I too only had one Kidney...seems I was born that way. Hoping for the best for your son also. 8)

Thanks Benni & Daron, second opinion, is a wise idea, but with the C 19 virus, most of the elective operations are postponed, most of the hospitals are to bizzy with the virus, so you can`t pick & choose to much, just now. when they say cancer, I think it is best to have it removed as soon as possible, keep well stay safe, cheers Don.

Hello Donnyboat, my 2 cents worth.
I never had blood in my urine but my Dr. found a large mass attached to my kidney so my kidney was removed by a great surgeon at UAB hospital, Kirkland Clinic, in Birmingham, Al. No cemo just regular check ups for 5 years. That was 11 years ago and I am doing fine. I'll be 70 this November.
Hope your son has a similar experience.
Russ Haynes
Fairhope, Al

Hello Dan, I'm doing ok and thanks for asking.
I check in every day  and there is no need for me to step in when others are doing such a good job.

I will usually answer when no one else does, that's what we do here, we try not to make them wait too long🙂.
By the way,!i never received the message you've mentioned, I always answer.

Later buddy, I'm glad your son is getting better.

Cheers!

Sal
