I follow this board religiously. Lousant Sun, 16 Dec 2007 00:00:00 GMT Be sure your wife is being treated by a doctor that has experience in treating metastatic kidney cancer.  Find one on KIDNEY-ONC (http://cancerguide.org/kofaq/ ) or by calling the Kidney Cancer Association  (800-850-9132).  Trishpm Thu, 03 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMT
