Hello to all, thank you for taking the time to read my message.
My dad was diagnosed recently with Stage IV Kidney cancer that has also spread to his bones. It was quite a shock because his primary doctor simply sent him to a physical therapist months ago when he complained about pain in his back and shoulder. When his pain did not improve, he finally did an MRI and found the cancer. He just completed 15 rounds of radiation treatment to eliminate the pain in his bones and had his first treatment of Toricel on Monday. Because of the aggressiveness of the cancer, the Doctor said this is the best treatment option. His oncologist also said the average life expectancy is a year with his staging. He has many loving family members around him who are very encouraging but he has lost quite a bit of hope with the diagnosis. I have been trying to search for positive messages that give him hope. Does anyone have feedback you are willing to share?
