Another update

Well saw the doctor yesterday. They removed my staples, kind of hurt a bit, I saved them per Strat's request.
I have Renal Cell Carcinoma , Stage 1 Grade 4 with Rhabdoid features. (for more info on Rhaboid tumor go to: http://www.emedicine.com/ped/topic3012.htm )
A Rhabdoid Tumor is very rare and is one of the most aggressive cancer tumors. If you read the article, Rhabdoid tumors are usually only found in very young children. It is extremely rare that an adult is diagnosed with this form of cancer.
The pathologist has determined that the surgeons did not remove all the cancer cells. My urologist and her department will be having a meeting on Thursday to determine the course to take concerning me. I have a few options, one - have them remove my entire kidney or two - have them take another slice of my kidney. I have decided to remove the entire kidney so there is no possibility of not "getting it all". One catch...the cancer may appear in my good kidney and if that happens, I will need a kidney transplant....so Andy...stay healthy.
So the plan as of now is to have my left kidney removed when I have my hysterectomy in the middle of March, all at the same time (in Manteca again). I guess they are just going to follow the same incision as last time for the removal of my kidney...heck they should have just put a zipper in.

Please do not worry, my heart tells me I will be fine.
