My husband was diagnosed with RCC and mets to brain in May 2008. His symtoms were forgetfulness, weakness in legs, dizziness. He finally fell down and was too weak to get up...ER did scan and the mets were quickly found, then the tumor on kidney.
He is fine as long as he takes his dexamethosone...they tried to wean him off and brain swelled again, I knew this because he had total personality changes, became paranoid...he had radiation treatments but it still swelled...we find out this Tuesday if more radiation is needed or if anything can be done. I worry about him being on the steroids for so long.
