Just an update on my 15 renal cell carcinomas.

Just an update on my 15 renal cell carcinomas. (My potato farm.) My cancer was discovered quite late and a large tumour was surgically removed from my chest that had pushed my heart and lungs sideways. Finally, it was the third doctor I approached that found it. I’ve discovered along my journey it’s important to stay positive and think ahead to how much better life will be once I’ve thrown off this temporary setback of hosting this pesky cancer virus. My friends used to seem slightly puzzled at my ‘meh‘ attitude to this stage 4 disease. These days they’re amazed at the changes. My oncologist suggested months ago that I introduce myself to the local palliative care nurses in our town to grow accustomed to my future. However, That’s when I discovered Spooky. These days she stands in front of my CT scans and shakes her head. (‘are you taking anything I should know about?’) After a rocky start on the wrong protocol, (my bad) I switched to another cancer program. My tumours initially swelled in size which alarmed my oncologist (I did not accept chemotherapy) but then they began to shrink. two have resolved completely, most are shrinking and the other few have stopped growing. I’m advised there that generally there is a 4.2% survival rate with this fast growing cancer over five years. Currently I’m at a little over 4 years now (plus the time before it was diagnosed) and I’m back to riding my pushbike (at 66yo) boating (and regaining weight) Not being a Scrooge, I’ve purchased a little parting gift for my temporary ailment…a brand spanking new genX as a bon voyage present. Should be here in five sleeps. Can’T wait. I’m back at work part time now and starting to live life again. I’m not out of the woods yet, but I can see the sunlight between the trees. Stay positive everyone, experiment and play your Spooky like the stratovarius that it is. May the frequencies be with you.
