Subject: Just Diagnosed and Need Lots of Advice

My father who just turned 59 was just diagnosed yesterday with renal cell in the fourth stages.His left kidney has a massive tumor and the kidney is twice the size of a normal one. They also found multiple tumors in his liver. The lympnodes between his lungs have shown some areas as well.My Family is just devastated to say the least.The Oncologists believes this cancer has been inside him for possibly 3yrs. We have many questions how this got past his primary Doctor? My father had prostate cancer 3 yrs ago and went back regularly for the psa tests and went for his check ups. Last april he seen his doctor to complain of constant fatigue and had a pain in his side too. They did tests on his heart that came back fine but that was the end of the tests. I just can not believe he is in such bad shape.The positives are nothing in the head,lungs, or the bones. We have decided to fight this beast til the end and are praying for a miracle drug.We are going into Boston in a few days to start in some clinical trials. What should we expect ? This is just overwhelming.....Any names of Doctor's in the Boston Area that specialize in this type of cancer, or just any advice at this point would be nice. Thanks~
