My mother was diagnosed in May 2001. Had right kidney removed and all seemed good until August 2002. Started coughing up blood and CAT scan showed tumors in her lungs. Tried Interleukin in Sept & Oct 2002. Found out in December 2002 that it did not work, the cancer had increased in lungs and spread to liver. Now they, Loyola Med Ctr in Chicago, wants to put her in a stem cell transplant study. Her sister is a match. Currently going thru tests to see of she qualifies. She's not sure if she wants to do it or not. What does everyone else think?
